La Buena Vida - The Good Life
The village of Tamaquito lies deep in the forests of Colombia. Here, nature provides the people with everything they need.

Determined to save his community from forced resettlement, the leader Jairo Fuentes negotiates with the mine's operators, which soon becomes a fight to survive.
