La Civil

MKE Film Festival

Inspired by true events, LA CIVIL tells the story of Cielo, a mother searching for her daughter abducted by a Northern Mexico cartel. When authorities fail to help, Cielo takes matters into her own hands. She earns the trust and sympathy of Lamarque, an unconventional army Lieutenant working in the region. Her collaboration with Lamarque will pull her into a vicious cycle of violence as she transforms from mother to avenging militant.
