The protagonists don't speak - which only makes the images all the more telling in this drama about three women who manage to escape a dangerous war situation in different places in the jungle. One day, La Mona stabs her sleeping boyfriend, a brutal paramilitary commander. She flees. A second woman, Rocío, also has to leave her place of residence, as it is surrounded by paramilitary troops. Nelsa is one of the paramilitaries, but she turns her back on them after being forced to bury the dismembered bodies of executed farmers.
Rocío is attacked by soldiers in a bus deep in the rainforest, while La Mona struggles through a river. Meanwhile, Nelsa continues her journey in a pick-up truck with the man who helped her desert. On their way to Bogotá, all three women come across other displaced persons - the desplazados - as well as demonstrators carrying photos of their lost loved ones.

Völkermord als tableau vivant. Ein sich stark von der argentinischen Schule der entleerten Erzählung inspirierender Film, der gleich an mehreren Stellen unauffällig die Tiefen der Verzweiflung und Zugehörigkeit berührt. Es ist schade, dass Guerrero manchmal mit der wortlosen Methode sowie den Kontrasten von Objektivität / Rätselhaftigkeit so daherkämpft. Jedoch als Debüt hat das Ganze Respekt verdient und ist beeindruckend. #kviff2016
