To date the only film de Los Santos Arias has set in his home country, the rural crime fable Cocote likewise represents his first full-fledged foray into narrative cinema. Alberto (Vicente Santos), a mild-mannered gardener working for a wealthy family in Santo Domingo, travels home for his father’s funeral. Upon his arrival, he learns that his father has been murdered, and that he has been summoned to avenge the death—a notion that the deeply religious Alberto has difficulty reconciling.
