Tano, a rebellious teenager from Santiago, is sent to southern Chile under the custody of his father whom he has not seen in years. Unhappy with the new arrangement, Tano meets Cheo, a shy boy who is bullied at school for his indigenous origins. The strange death of a Mapuche leader unleashes a spree of violence in the area, forcing Tano and Cheo to unite against their violent surroundings. MALA JUNTA is a reflection of the ongoing Mapuche conflict portrayed through the friendship and solidarity of two pure souls.
