The Tower

Tefa and Nia live in a small town near the Magdalena River, where they raise Nia's young nephew. Nia persuades Tefa to join her in smuggling cellphones into the regional prison. Their journey leads them through an extravagant amusement park built on the grounds of a drug lord's former estate. As they wander among water slides, verdant paths, and concrete dinosaurs, disquieting memories whisper in the summer heat. In a landscape where violence lingers beneath every surface, Tefa is drawn toward an inevitable encounter.

Through an extraordinary 17-minute sequence shot, we accompany a young and dysfunctional couple who are about to have their first child. On the way to the hospital, labor pains mix with mutual complaints, and calls from relatives add reckless comments to a more than desperate situation.

A woman invents a story to evoke a lost friendship. Along with her friends, they imagine a fable: the story of two birds that one day became human — an Ornithologist and his friend, The Architect.
