Synopsis
On March 6, 1906, four people were executed in the streets for the attempted assassination of the then president of Colombia, Rafael Reyes. The tradition gathers the representation in images of this event as the beginning of the cinema in Colombia. While a director makes a film on this subject, suddenly his mother suffers an episode of mutism: without any explanation she stops talking. This personal crisis forces him to stop the film and start recording his mother’s illness. As a result of this investigation, the director decides to look into the family’s past and finds a video archive of a children’s play in which he himself acts, pretending to be a captured false guerrilla. This brings him back to his original film and leads him to find the relationship that exists between recent tragic events in Colombian history, the false positives, and the origins of cinema in Colombia.
