Synopsis: 

A massacre occurs in a remote community as a result of which six children are murdered. Lucia, one of them, returns to the town as a spirit that observes the silence in which its inhabitants are submerged. Fear does not let them sleep. Lucia helps her grandparents survive this trance until they can finally fall asleep.

Visual concept: 

The place where this film takes place is a village in the mountains that can only be reached by going two hours up a river and then one hour uphill, by foot. It's remoteness and the landscape is part of the story.
