A bittersweet drama and intimate road movie about the clash of two different worlds. Marta, a once-popular Polish singer, receives devastating news of the sudden death of her adult son, Daniel, in Guatemala. Determined to bring his body home, she embarks on a long journey. Upon arrival, she is met by Marco—Daniel’s partner, whose existence she had known nothing about. Their shared trek through the dense countryside and remote Guatemalan wilderness—initially marked by mistrust and a struggle for control—slowly evolves into a moving confrontation with her own preconceptions about her late son and questions regarding the boundaries of intimacy. A sensual story set against the exotic landscapes of Guatemala, exploring grief, maternal love, and the challenging quest to understand the identities of those closest to us.

Cartagena de Indias, the walled city on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of rock. But by the edge of the sea, an alternative music scene pulses with life. Bands move from punk to emo to post-punk to goth, while a community keeps alive the chance to be free from prejudice, the chance to be part of something unique.
