Summaries

A young girl is recruited to be a child soldier in the Colombian jungle and copes with her circumstances by using her imagination to journey to a magical realm.

Set against the backdrop of the lush Colombian jungle Alix presents a stirring narrative that intertwines the lives of Conejo, a battle-weary cynical soldier and Alix, a 12-year-old innocent, involuntarily tricked into enlisting as a child soldier. This powerful film, crafted with a touch of magical realism, explores the complex relationship between captor and captive. We go down the rabbit hole with Alix, through her eyes of innocence and resilience we are drawn in by her optimism. She perceives Conejo as her guardian, but he is also her betrayer. And so, unfolds a poignant tale of growth, redemption, and the profound layers of what we call 'family'. Behind this cinematic gem is the writer/director, Ana Maria Hermida. She brings this emotionally charged tale to life with staggering beauty and subtly. In the role of 'Alix' is the young acting sensation Cristal Aparicio (Sounds of Freedom). Along with an all-star cast, they bring this rich poignant story to our hearts: Roberto Urbina (Narcos) Natalia Reyes (Terminator; Dark Fate) Carlos Bardem (Assassins Creed) and Carolina Guerra (Animal Kingdom) deliver pitch perfect performances to make Alix a film that will stir your emotions and inspire your humanity.—Catalyst Studios
