Synopsis
Guatemala, 2018. The whole country is immersed in the trial of the soldiers who sparked the Civil War. Victim statements come one after another. Ernesto is a young anthropologist working for the Forensic Foundation; his job is to identify the missing people. One day, while hearing the tale of an old woman, he thinks he has found a lead that might guide him to his father, a guerrilla who went missing during the war. Against his mother's wishes, he flings himself body and soul into the case, looking for truth and resilience.
