Papi
Directed by Noelia Quintero Herencia

A young girl is consumed by elaborate daydreams as she awaits the visit of her absent father, a Dominican mobster whom she idolizes.
Sonia is a precocious 8-year-old girl with a vibrant imagination. Her flashbacks and surreal flights of fancy help her navigate life as the daughter of Papi, a drug dealer who returns from New York to become the biggest crime lord in the city.
