In the movie Monos, the story revolves around a group of teenage guerrilla soldiers known as "Monos" who are tasked with guarding a hostage, an American engineer named Doctora, on a remote mountaintop in Latin America. The teenagers are part of an unnamed revolutionary organization and have been thrust into their role as soldiers, equipped with machine guns and strict orders to keep the hostage safe until the organization's leaders give further instructions.
The eight teenagers, led by their commanding officer known as The Messenger, have formed a close-knit group and exhibit a mix of camaraderie, loyalty, and tense power dynamics within their ranks. However, as time passes and isolation takes its toll, their unity begins to crumble, and they descend into chaos and anarchy.
The mountaintop location becomes a character in itself, as it is surrounded by dense jungle and enveloped in an eerie, mystical fog. The harsh terrain, unpredictable weather, and constant threat of attack from opposing forces all contribute to the escalating tension among the Monos.
Adding to the already intense situation, the teenagers are also responsible for taking care of a conscripted milk cow named Shakira, which serves as their only source of sustenance. The cow becomes a symbol of their dwindling resources and the fragile threads that hold their existence together.
As the group's dynamics unravel, their discipline breaks down, leading to power struggles, betrayals, and tragic consequences. Doctora, the hostage, attempts to navigate the complex dynamics and form alliances with some of the Monos. She becomes a silent observer and occasional mediator in this struggle for power and survival.
The narrative of Monos explores themes of coming-of-age, the corrupting nature of power, the blurring lines between victim and victimizer, and the devastating consequences of violence. It presents a harrowing yet poetic portrait of young people forced into adulthood under extreme circumstances, navigating the thin line between anarchy and order in an unforgiving landscape.
