Rendir los machos

Synopsis

When their father dies, he leaves very specific terms and conditions for Alejandro and Julio Cabrera to claim their inheritance: they are to walk to the far south of Fuerteventura and deliver the island's seven most prized billy-goats to their family's historic rivals. Over 100 kilometres on foot across harsh terrain. Two brothers who can't stand each other.

Canary Island–born director David Pantaleón's debut feature is a universal story with a distinctly local flavour. A timeless tale of sibling rivalry set in a barren landscape with the look of a Western and the feel of a road movie.
