About the film
On the banks of the Magdalena River, a territory marked by decades of violence, the souls of the disappeared find an inexplicable refuge. Esther, like Charon, guides these shadows torn from life by armed groups. The forgotten bodies, expelled by the waters as a testimony of pain, wander aimlessly seeking to reconstruct the fragments of their interrupted stories. Between life and death, between oblivion and memory, these spirits transit, claiming their right to be remembered, to be named, to be human.
