Hombres armados

ActionAdventureDrama127 min

Federico Luppi is Dr. Humberto Fuentes, a wealthy physician nearing retirement who heads into rural Mexico to look for former students now working in isolated villages. What begins as a personal trip after his wife’s death turns darker as he learns that one former student may have been killed by the army, and each stop brings another account of missing doctors, frightened communities, and official silence. Damián Delgado, Damián Alcázar, and Mandy Patinkin appear along the way as Fuentes’s search widens from a reunion into a political reckoning with the country around him.
