Cocote

Cocote is Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias’ 2017 Dominican film about Alberto, an evangelical gardener who returns to his hometown for his father’s funeral after his dad is murdered by a local thug.

The funeral is a mixture of Catholic and West African traditions, both of which challenge Alberto’s evangelical beliefs. Plus the family wants vengeance. Soon Alberto realizes that the family called him home to be the avenger. Now what?

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Writer – Director: Nelson Carlo de Los Santos Arias
Starring: Vicente Santos, Yuberbi de la Rosa and Judith Rodríguez

This is the kind of trouble that devils us. Many of us face choices like this that we cannot refuse. We end up in an endless cycle of violence that destroys good people.

Cocote won “Best Film” at the 2017 Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.

It won a “Special Jury Award” at the 2017 Lisbon and Estoril Film Festival; and won “Best Latin-American Film” and “FEISAL” awards at the 2017 Mar del Plata Film Festival in Argentina.
