Based on a true story, A Ton of Luck is an insightful validation of an age-old piece of advice: if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. A battalion of anti-guerilla forces on a rescue mission in the jungles of Caqueta stumbles on a massive stash of drug money. Believing the find will change their lives forever, the soldiers divide the cash––without any way of getting it back to civilization. Rodrigo Triana’s film runs over with humor, absurd plot twists and tragic spins, which led the film to box office success in Colombia. A powerful and unforgettable look at human nature, greed and the dangers of the all-too-easy opportunity.
