7 Boxes is a rare surprise from the almost non-existent Paraguayan cinema, and was a huge box office hit there. One of the best foreign films in years that will have you on the edge of your seat. The film opens in a busy crowded marketplace. A street kid named Victor strikes a deal with a butcher to transport seven boxes by wheelbarrow across a crowded marketplace to escape police scrutiny. But in an exciting chase he soon encounters rival gangs and thieves. As he races to his destination we eventually discovery what the mystery cargo is.

Reviews

“An engaging, pulse-pounding thriller… as great as City of God meets Run Lola Run… it really feels like some phenomenon we haven't seen before. 7 Boxes is undoubtedly one of the most exciting world cinema discoveries you will find this year.” — PAT MULLEN, film blogger
