Martha is a 45-year-old woman who lost track of her son during the Colombian armed conflict. She receives the news that no bone match was found in the last exhumation she participated in. Having exhausted all institutional avenues, she turns to a group of women, where she meets Sandra. Sandra tells Martha a rumor: “in a remote village in the plains, you can ask a dead person for a favor”. The two set out on a journey in search of answers.
