After 52 years of bloody conflict, the Colombian government and FARC guerillas have come to a peace agreement. Nevertheless, the hot-button question surfaces: after half a century of extreme polarization is it possible to put an end to this vicious cycle of violence and find a common ground for understanding? Through a mosaic of characters that represent all aspects of the complex modern-day Colombian landscape (a former FARC revolutionary, a lifelong member of the elite, a poverty-ridden coca farmer and a reactionary alt-right politician), this intrusive documentary illustrates a wounded country in a state of awkward transition and painful transformation.
