Synopsis
Two brothers decide to venture on a journey to find the FARC guerrillas who kept their mother captured for 2 years. Before her death she forgave her captures, which made the two brothers wonder if they could also forgive, if they could find and talk to the guerrillas who guarded her. With the help of the diary that she had been allowed to write during her capture they locate places, deciphered names and begin a journey through jungles and mountains following the trail of their mother’s pain, but also the path to forgiveness.
