ABOUT THE FILM:

The Gunguna is a tiny .22 caliber pistol with her own dark, untold past. She travels through the depths of the Caribbean underworld, leaving behind her a trail of catastrophic bad luck, mayhem and dark humor. The film showcases an array of intriguing, bizarre and downright shady characters, some of whom are motivated by revenge, others by deceit. From low-life loan sharks to arms dealers, professional snooker and domino players to corrupt police officials, their tense, violent and at times thought-provoking encounters interconnect and overlap in the midst of absurdity and irony. Within this dark world, The Gunguna herself becomes a symbol for some of the deep secrets that remain hidden within her gold-plated and cursed casing.
