In 1964, Colombian farmers took up arms and joined the resistance in the jungle, thus giving birth to the FARC. 50 years later, the guerillas surrendered and started a peace process in order to end a conflict that has caused 260 000 deaths and has displaced 6.9 million people.
We look at the transition from war to peace through the prism of reconstruction, based on three stories: that of former guerillas and paramilitaries who try to return to civil society; of a prosthetist who rebuilds faces that were destroyed in the war; and of displaced farmers who come back to their land, hoping to make a living out of lawful cultivation.
The film yearns for this era to be that of a new, more serene face for the country. But conservative political parties, important landowners, drug traffickers and multinational corporations are still present in the background…
