About the film

Three ex-fighters of the Colombian guerilla army FARC face anxiety and fear as they try to reintegrate into a society that views them as terrorists.

For over half a century, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have been fighting to overthrow the Colombian government, which they blame for the corruption and inequality that prevails in the country. This film is an intimate portrait of three people who made the difficult decision to demobilize and return to civilian life after years of bloody conflict. Ricardo, a young man who does not hide his ideals; Alexandra, an indigenous woman who left her family at the age of 13; and Dayana, who is discovering her identity as a trans woman, all long for peace and acceptance but must carefully hide the truth about their past. To the general public they are enemies, traitors to their former comrades-in-arms.
