EL OJO Y EL MURO (The Eye and the Wall) — Guatemala

Description
In a near-future Latin American city cut in two by a towering wall, a young medic risks everything to smuggle
supplies to those trapped on the other side. El Ojo y el Muro blends dystopian tension with a deeply human
drama about solidarity under surveillance, the quiet courage of community care, and the cost of crossing lines—literal and moral.
Cool, moody visuals and a pulsing sense of place build a world that feels unsettlingly close to our own, while
the film’s beating heart remains with those who choose to help, even when no-one is watching.
