Death in the Garden is a 1956 French-Mexican adventure film directed by Luis Buñuel. In a fictional South American state, police forces terrorize the population. In a small and remote village, a group of diamond miners refuses to be bullied and rehearses the uprising. The adventurer Shark flees into the depths of the jungle with a priest, the whore Djin and two other companions. The inhospitable environment turns into hell for the adventurers and increasingly leads to tensions within the group that degenerate into tangible confrontations.
