A mother and her son talk while while driving in her car

Hernandez had already made films in Guatemala and Mexico and this time found inspiring locations, unusual atmosphere and enthusiastic young people in Costa Rica. In this consciously unpolished film, the rebellious girls Sole and Ana open the trunk of a car in grandma’s garden and find something they’d rather immediately forget.

The film follows two 12-year-old girls who are forced to run away from their homes after a traumatic incident. Trapped in a spiral of escape, complicity and feverish visions, they wield their phone cameras to expose the truth, confront the unnamable and find a way to make themselves heard.

Domingo’s house in the Costa Rican mountains is about to be expropriated for the construction of a highway. But his land hides a secret: the ghost of his deceased wife visits him within the mist. Domingo is sure he will never give up his land, even if that means resorting to violence.

Norma's mother just died, leaving her alone and stranded in their small and isolated house in the mountains. Not knowing what do with her corpse, she ignores the situation childishly. When a neighbor finds out, she escapes and embarks on a journey following the tracks of her unknown father. But does he really exist? Or is the journey all part of a psychotic delusion?

A couple tries to solve their conflicts (Based on Neruda's poem)
