Sujo, Mexico‘s Oscar submission, topped the Morelia International Film Festival with three wins across Best Screenplay, Direction and overall Fiction Feature film. It’s a good start to the international film contender, following up its nabbing of the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema.

From filmmakers Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez, the drama centers on the eponymous beloved son of a small-town cartel gunman who narrowly escapes death when his father is murdered. When his aunt takes him in and raises him in the isolated countryside, he must contend with hardship, poverty and the constant peril associated with his identity.

Rondero and Valadez shared the awards for Best Mexican Fiction Feature Film Screenplay, Best Direction of Mexican Fiction Feature Film and Best Mexican Feature Film overall. In September, The Forge acquired the North American rights to the pic, which will hit select theaters beginning Nov. 29.

The Morelia fest, in its 22nd edition, runs from Oct. 18 to 27 in its title city in Michoacán. This year’s program including a screening of nearly 200 films, including Mexican premieres and other features.

Emilia Pérez from French director Jacques Audiard served as the opening screening, the actresses of which — Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Paz — were special guests. Megalopolis was also screened, and director Francis Ford Coppola was presented with the Artistic Excellence Award. Rodrigo Prieto’s Pedro Páramo, which debuted at TIFF earlier this year, was also showcased. The closing screening was Alfonso Cuarón’s limited series Disclaimer. Other notable guests included Liv Tyler, Alexander Payne, Ava DuVernay, Ira Sachs and Leos Carax.
