Pueblo Nuevo

In the small village of Concepción de Buenos Aires, Jalisco, two rival families — the Barajas and the Cortes — live in constant tension. A heated horse race competition reignites old grudges when the Cortes publicly accuse the Barajas of cheating, turning rivalry into open hostility. The conflict escalates when the Cortes kidnap Coty, the wife of Rigo Barajas, in an act of revenge meant to humiliate and break their opponents. Refusing to stand by, the Barajas take matters into their own hands and launch a determined search to rescue Coty. What begins as a family dispute transforms into a violent confrontation, where justice may come either through bullets or behind prison bars. In a land ruled by pride and tradition, honor must be defended at any cost.

Directed by Alonso O. Lara, Pueblo Nuevo leans on a strong ensemble — Elias Hernandez, Luis Huizar, Vianey Huizar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2020.
