When he discovers that a powerful local figure is responsible for his father\u2019s death, Alberto realizes that he\u2019s been summoned by his family to avenge the murder. It\u2019s an unthinkable act \u2014 especially for him, an Evangelical Christian. But as pressure mounts, he sees few ways out. Questions of faith, tradition and honor course through this electrifying film, which, seemingly at the speed of thought itself, jumps between film formats, colors, and aspect ratios, radically envisioning a community torn asunder by senseless violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2018\/03\/new-directors-new-films-trailer-2018-1201941317\/\" title=\"New Directors\/New Films Exclusive Trailer: Discover Cinema\u2019s Most Exciting Up-and-Coming Voices in 2018\">New Directors\/New Films Exclusive Trailer: Discover Cinema\u2019s Most Exciting Up-and-Coming Voices in 2018<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p>Vicente Santos, Judith Rodr\u00edguez, Yuberbi de la Rosa, Pedro Sierra, Isabel Spencer, and Jos\u00e9 Miguel Fernander star in &#8220;Cocote,&#8221; which Grasshopper will release in New York July 27.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link sign-up\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Sign Up:<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/indiewire.com\/email\" title=\"Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
