Imagine being hunted in a place where every step could be your last not just by men with guns, but by the jungle itself. That’s the pulse of Baru a story where love, danger, and redemption collide beneath a canopy of green.

Set in the turbulent 1970s, Baru follows a young man sentenced for killing his stepfather and a
mysterious woman with secrets of her own. When fate throws them together, they make a daring escape into the dense, unforgiving rainforests of Costa Rica. But this isn’t just a story about running Baru is about transformation.
As DEA agents and a ruthless Texas Ranger close in with orders to bring them back dead or alive they’re forced to confront not just the dangers around them, but the demons within. The rainforest is alive with peril: wild animals, venomous creatures, and hostile terrain. But the greatest threats may be human a jealous drug lord with unfinished business, and the shadows of their pasts.
What makes Baru stand apart is the raw emotion woven through every scene. It’s about found family, unexpected love, survival against all odds, and the fire that keeps us moving forward even when the world wants to hold us down.
In Baru, every choice is life or death. Every moment is borrowed time.And sometimes, the only way to truly be free… is to run.
