Where did you watch this movie?

On a remote mountain in Latin America, a group of rebel soldiers - an unconventional family bound under a shadowy force known as the Organization - keeps watch over a US hostage (Julianne Nicholson). The teenage commandos perform military training exercises by day and indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle by night. After an ambush drives the squadron into the jungle, both the mission and the intricate bonds begin to disintegrate, as order descends into chaos. The third feature from Colombian Ecuadorian director Alejandro Landes, Monos is a breathtaking survivalist saga.

Trivia:
The word 'mono' has several usages in the Spanish language. It's used to refer to a monkey, to a human figure drawn on a paper, to a male toy figurine and to a male with fair skin and light hair. It's also used to describe something cute. Thus, 'Monos' could mean "cute kids" within the context of this film, since the stars are all kids.

This film is reportedly a loose adaptation of William Golding's 'Lord Of The Flies'.

This film was selected as the official Colombian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.

This film won the Goya Award for Best Iberoamerican Film at the 34th Goya Awards.
