El Tesoro

The Treasure
Fiction | Mexico, United States | 2023 | 22 min | Spanish

Synopsis

Clemencia is not the typical heroine: a humble evangelical Christian whose son, terminally ill, makes a deathbed confession about the many murders he committed and shares a notebook with the names of all those he buried in clandestine graves. After the death of her son, her mission is clear: she must bring comfort to the families of the disappeared ones by finding their remains. But how will she fulfill this mission that raises so many questions? Clemencia will guide these families on a journey, under the false pretense that she knows where a valuable treasure is buried.
