A grieving Dutchman seeks revenge on his son's alleged murderer in a small Mexican town.

Why watch the movie Ricochet?
"There's something rotten at the heart of the story in 'Ricochet'. Rodrigo Fiallega's film presents a "typical Mexican town" so glamorized, it seems to play with its own stereotype in order to reflect on its artificiality. It is precisely the solitary way in which the protagonist, Martjin, is framed, and the slow pace in which his story is revealed; that suggests there is something darker underneath: that this foreign ideal of a peaceful town and friendly neighbors is nothing more than a broken (or stolen) paradise by tragedy, the only memory left after death and departure."
