HORIZON
A dense fog robs the world of its colors in the vast cemetery where BASILIO searches for the graves of his parents. Failing to find them, he returns to his old home, but once there discovers that the modest dwelling has been consumed by the ruins of time. His mother, INÉS, has been waiting for him. Separated in life by terrible violence, they understand that their reunion is due only to the fact that they are now dead. Mother and son, now ghosts, begin a physical and spiritual journey through a landscape devastated by war. BASILIO is responsible for all of it; in his lifetime he evolved into a savage criminal and is now forced to relive, over and over again, all the horror of the acts he committed.
