Ricochet

Each person overcomes grief in a different way. Martijn, a Dutch middle-aged man, lives a reclused life in a Mexican town since decades. Some time ago he lived, alongside his wife Mariana, the murder of their son. He's obsessed with loss and the people around him reflect the shadow of what one day was and stopped existing. One day he discovers that the alleged murderer of his son is getting out of prison because they don't have enough proof of him being guilty, and he decides to take revenge.

This film is based on a real story from Argentina and follows the protagonist along a single day. A drama stained of dust and blood, that explores the relationship between people and grief and revenge, where every conversation and every moment counts. The little town in Mexico seems to be stuck in time, and Martijn has to find a way to keep on with his life or to destroy what torments him once and for all.

'Ricochet' is Rodrigo Fiallega's debut. The Mexican director and photographer has worked for filmmakers like Alejandro González Iñárritu and has created visual effects for big productions like 'Thor: Ragnarok' or 'Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol'. 'Ricochet' is his firs feature film.

Produced by Alejandro de Icaza, Rodrigo Fiallega, Ángeles Hernández, Gabriela Maldonado and Elsa Reyes. The main cast is leaded by Iazua Larios, Andrés Almeida and Martijn Kuiper.
