Heli is 20 and has sister Estela, twelve-year old girl who fell crazy in love with seventeen-year old Beta. They live in Guanahuatu, where the majority of citizens work in a factory or in a local drug cartel. Guanahuatu is ruled by corrupt police officers, sexual exploitation, guilt and revenge. Estela and Beto want to run away and get married. In an attempt to fulfill a dream, they start a chain of violence that will have immense consequences. “Heli” is the firsthand story about the society in which rule endemic violence, institutionalized crime and corruption. Almost the entire cast of the film ”Heli“ are debutants.
