Set in Bogotá in 1996. In the darkness caused by power outages, the townspeople are terrified of the arrival of the antichrist. Thirteen-year-old Ana is deeply tormented by this rumor that secretly invades her daily life, by the existential crises of her school’s priest or by the animistic superstitions of the maiden.

A long time ago, on the Pacific coast of Colombia, women used to make pacts with mystical forces in order to master the art of singing. All of this knowledge that we learned from our ancestors has been forgotten. Ever since then, we have been missing something.

It is about two ghosts, a mother and son, search for the boy’s missing father on a journey, both physical and spiritual, through a world ravaged by war. Only through great sacrifice will they mend the fragile bonds that bind them and perhaps find redemption.

First film directed by Daniela López Moreno. World Premiere at 30th Fantasia Film Festival.
