Inspired by the memories of her home country, director Laura Weissenberger creates an essay film filled with striking stories of Colombian women. Employing a fictional family that represents the larger society, the narrative takes us on a journey through their past, referencing objects, photos and sounds from another lifetime. A collection of masterfully shot scenes complement the beautifully told stories of hope, sorrow, joy and regret.
