Pescador

Blanquito is thirty years old. He lives in a small fishing village on the coast of Ecuador. The village is called El Matal. He stays there with his mother. One morning packets wash up on the beach. Inside the packets is cocaine. Everyone in the village gathers some. Blanquito takes it for his chance. He sets out with his friend Lorna. Where they go is Guayaquil. There they pay far more for each packet. But the city is not a place he knows. Andres Crespo and Maria Cecilia Sanchez take the leads, with Alejandro Fajardo also in the cast, in Sebastian Cordero’s Ecuadorian and Colombian coproduction of 2011.
