Paulina García (Sebastian Leilo's Gloria) stars as Inés, mother of Basilio played by Claudio Cataño (Netflix' One Hundred Years of Solitude), who has been missing for a long time and has finally returned home to the Colombian countryside to find her. But the pair are actually dead, their souls tied to the many stories they left behind. When they decide to travel through a war-torn landscape to comprehend what their fate might mean, it becomes painfully clear that only through great sacrifice will they achieve the redemption they long for.

Writer-director César Augusto Acevedo — whose 2015 film Land and Shade won the Caméra d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival — doubles down on the poetics of eerie landscapes, fire, shadows, and precisely orchestrated sounds. The score vividly resonates with chaos, ache, and hope, propelling the characters to face their horror and, hopefully, escape a vicious cycle of violence. Facing truth may break us, or set us free.
