SYNOPSIS In a sub-Andean forest in Bolivia, Miguel and Marcos take part in the filming of an American horror movie shot at an old colonial estate. Miguel, a bodybuilder, plays the monster, while Marcos, a farmer, provides his bulls for the production. What begins as a conventional film shoot turns into a dangerous experience for both.
Cuerpo Criminal blends observational documentary with genre elements to explore power dynamics and contemporary colonialism within the film industry.
