Emilia, a young widow, is traveling by river to Islandia with her young daughter, Irina, in the 1950s. Because the river is low, they are stranded in Santos, a small town in the Peruvian Amazon. The time they spend there is enough to change the course of their lives. Emilia is the first teacher the town has had. Fifty years later, her legacy remains.

Lima, Peru, 1991. After years of fruitless efforts, a group of police officers finally find a lead on the whereabouts of Abimael Guzmán, the bloodthirsty leader of the communist terrorist gang Shining Path.

They only have one hour left before a group of terrorists undertake the last part of their mission: carrying and detonating a bomb in the Center of Lima, the Congress and the Government Palace. Behind them, an undercover police officer must decide whether to act or obey a direct order from the highest command of the Peruvian government. Shot in a single sequence shot.
