Overview

After a thousand days of civil war in Colombia in 1902, the revolutionary soldier Alfredo Duarte Amado receives a telegram with the news of the pregnancy of his brother Rodrigo's wife. Without knowing where to go, he convinces an amateur photographer in the bowels of the Chicamocha canyon to go with him searching for his brother lost in the war, but the photographer is also looking for someone – the man who killed his father.
