Feature film, documentary, 2015.
Displaced from the countryside due to violence, Blanca has recently moved
to a rudimentary shelter on the Bogota border with her three grandsons.
In the thick of his adolescent crisis, Didier, the elder of the three boys,
is already drifting off towards an uncertain future.
With the help of the ‘blessed souls’, Blanca fights to protect him from a distance,
and watches over the two younger boys, John and Camilo, fearing that they too will stray.
This is the story of a grandmother fighting for the future of her family:
an age-old tale in a contemporary context.
