En el camino
“Veneno” is a young man who frequents remote roadside diners, where he hooks up with truck drivers. There, he meets “Muñeco,” a lonely driver struggling with alcoholism and drug addic- tion. As they travel together and grow closer on the road, they begin selling drugs—and an un- likely romance begins. Everything changes when people from Veneno’s past reappear, putting both of their lives at risk. See More
