About This Movie

So, Viche, this 2025 film set in the lush landscape of Chocó, dives deep into the life of Diógenes. You’ve got this interesting clash of tradition versus modernity, right? Diógenes, a university student and an Afro-descendant, finds himself torn between his grandfather Anacleto's viche-making legacy and his own dreams. The film’s tone is rich and immersive, capturing that vibrant yet challenging life in Chocó. The pacing flows like a river, sometimes slow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, sometimes quickening as Diógenes wrestles with his choices. Practical effects bring authenticity, especially in the viche production scenes. Performances are heartfelt, with a real sense of familial bonds and cultural pride. It’s this unique blend of personal journey and cultural heritage that stands out.
