Otros 4 Litros (The 4 Beers)
Guatemala | 2016, R18+, 87 min, Black Comedy
Three friends set out on a journey to Lake Atitlán, to fulfil the last wish of their recently deceased childhood friend – to throw his ashes into the lake and drink the last four beers in his name. But on their way, they knock down a police officer, take him with them, and after that everything starts to fail. They go their separate ways, and in their own adventures, overcome their existential crises and recognize their friendship.
