Manito

This totally unpredictable dogma-inspired drama is about two Latino brothers, living in Washington Heights, a New York suburb. Junior is the oldest brother, an ex-convict Casanova fighting to get his life back on the right track, while younger brother Manny is the hope of the family. On the night of his graduation party Manny gets to experience how a milli-second-decision may change his whole future. This also forces Junior to confront his past and his present situation. Manito is an intense, richly detailed story, magically shot. An impressive feature film debut, made with amateurs and a tiny budget, which has become a multiple festival award winner (Special Jury Prize at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival for its ensemble cast and Special Jury Prize at the Miami Film Festival) and one of the most talked-about films of the Festival season.
