Director: Ángela Carabalí
Colombia | 2025 | Spanish with English subtitles | 86 min | Documentary

After 30 years denying her pain, Angela is confronted by her past when her father appears to her in a dream, asking her to find him. With her sister Juliana, she embarks on a trip across Colombia to the Indigenous lands where their father, a farmer of Afro-descent, became a victim of forced disappearance. The journey from Medellin to Caloto, in the challenging Cauca’s province in the Southwest of Colombia, confronts the sisters with paradoxes of the land, family emotions, and indigenous spirituality that will show Angela an unexpected path to reconnecting with her father.
