The Beast

A flock of flamingos has been flying over Bogota in the past few days. Nobody knows where the birds came from, but it's clear that they are lost. Julian is also lost: he has been working in a call centre for five years, living on autopilot, and feeling completely disconnected from life. A mysterious phone call at work pushes him to disappear without a trace. Jungle follows Julian's last days in Bogota, his interactions with the people who mean something to him, and his final journey towards oblivion.

Fabián is forced to spend the afternoon playing soccer with his older brothers friends. The lethargy of the afternoon breaks when the group of boys must bury one of the puppies from the litter that one of them takes care of. While they spend the afternoon fleeing the rain, Fabián faces alone the genesis of an unknown impulse: the first outbreak of his shameful sexual desire caused by another man.

Martha (45), a mother who lost track of her son due to the conflict, receives the news that there was no bone concordance in the last exhumation she participated in.

Together with Sandra, they embark on a journey in search of answers, blurring the line between the living and the dead. Mothers searching for their children, children searching for their mothers: two sides of the same scourge converge in search of peace.
