Blanquito is a 30-year-old fisherman who lives a humdrum life with his mother in a tiny village on the coast of Ecuador.  When a shipment of cocaine packages washes up with the tide one morning he’s thrilled with the bounty, which he sees as a ticket to another life. Together with Lorna, a beautiful Colombian woman with her own reasons to get on the road, Blanquito sets off on a precarious and life changing adventure.

Offbeat comedy Pescador won Best Director and Best Actor at the Guadalajara International Film Festival.
