    • Synopsis
    • Sonia and Arturo live in a house that appears safe, but it’s too large and quiet. One night, three armed men break into the couple’s property. After violently overpowering them and locking them in a bathroom, the criminals begin their retreat.
      Arturo manages to escape, capture the youngest and most inexperienced of the intruders, and decides to kidnap him to discipline him in the house’s basement.
      Gradually, the rage dissipates, and strange family bonds emerge that Arturo and Sonia believed long extinct.
      SALVAJES is a violent portrayal of a divided society, set in a landscape of inequality where the lines between victim and perpetrator become blurred.
