Two estranged brothers have to come together to take down the drug boss who murdered their parents. Santana releases in SA cinemas on Friday, 15 May.
The film centres on two estranged brothers, one stable and the other anything but, after being split 35 years ago after their parents were murdered. Matias (Rosario) was six years old, and Dias (Americano) was still in his mother’s womb. Matias was fortunate and was adopted by a well-off family, who gave him a stable and loving upbringing. Dias was less fortunate and was in and out of orphanages and trouble most of his life.
Both brothers decided to serve their country, Matias now a general in the military, and Dias a commander of the DNIC, a special unit of the Angolan police force.
When the two brothers are forced to work together to take down a major drug operation, they discover the man behind the drug empire is Ferreira (Seiphemo), the same man that murdered their parents all those years ago.
