Synopsis
José Efraín Ríos Montt became christian and, a few years later, in 1982, a group of soldiers asked him to lead a military coup in Guatemala. Francisco Chávez Raymundo and his sister were small children when Ríos' political actions annihilated their community. In March 2013, the lives of Francisco and Efraín converge in the same space. Ríos Montt is called upon to testify before Guatemalan justice and is confronted by a group of Mayan Ixiles, orphans and widows of the war.
