Sinekatalog’s take
A proud patriarch returns after prison to reclaim his name as a champion rooster breeder. It is a drama of pride, family pressure and tradition in a Latino community. A solid, character-led option for viewers who like gritty family stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
