Esperanto Kino, Itaca Films, BN Films and Canana are set to produce the Spanish-language film starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Deadline said.

Jonas Cuaron - who co-wrote his father Alfonso Cuaron’s new film Gravity — directs Desierto, the tale of illegal immigrants who cross into the U.S. and end up running from an American who has taken border patrol into his own hands. While they fight for their lives, the two immigrants fall for each other.

Jonas Cuaron wrote the script with Mateo Garcia. Desierto will be produced by Alfonso Cuaron, Carlos Cuaron and Alex Garcia. Garcia Bernal is exec producing with Lucas Akoskin and Santiago Garcia Galvan.
