The Mars Volta’s leading man Omar Rodríguez-López makes his fourth directorial outing with this stunningly shot blend of science fiction and dystopia set on the island of Borinquen, the Indigenous Taíno name for the island of Puerto Rico. Our hero here is Zur’na (Flora Sylvestre), who sets out to the neighbouring enemy territories ruled by American colonial forces on a quest to find her missing brother.

8.5/10 "Sumptuous and atmospheric."

- Film Threat

"Skillfully denounces the ripples of American imperialism while referencing classic

Latin American cinema and cult B-movies to craft a pulsating universe."

– Rafa Sales Ross / SXSW London 2025

"Has an innocent tone that links it to an imagery of fascination with 1950s Sci-fi."
