The Southern Cross(2003)

The Southern Cross follows three marginalized youths—Nora, Javier, and Wendy, Javier's transgender brother—hired to transport cocaine in an ambulance. When they steal part of the shipment and flee police, they're forced to hide in El Marquesado, a desolate seaside resort built by the military on dynamited cliffs. There, they reunite with Javier and Wendy's parents, Rodolfo and Mercedes, who survive by rustling livestock from neighboring farms. Shaped by loneliness and indifference, the three drift on society's margins, powerless against systemic corruption. Their arrival resurrects buried tensions within this struggling family, unraveling old conflicts in a place haunted by its violent past.
