Manito

Manito is a powerful and thought-provoking drama that explores the complexities of family, loyalty, and redemption in a changing inner-city neighborhood. The film follows the story of two Latino brothers, Junior and Manny, who are struggling to find their place in a world that is both familiar and foreign. Junior, an ex-convict, is trying to turn his life around, while Manny, the salutatorian of his high school class, embodies the hope of the future. As they navigate their way through a web of violence, betrayal, and love, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of their past and the uncertain future that lies ahead. With a gritty realism that is both unflinching and compassionate, Manito offers a poignant portrayal of life in the inner city, where the legacy of violence and poverty continues to cast a shadow over the lives of its residents.
