About the film
By the end of the 80’s, on the border between Venezuela and Colombia, two men survived an armed attack perpetrated on the Arauca River. Then, the Venezuelan Army accuses them of guerrillas and pursues to intimidate and take them away. The police officer who is guarding them as well as other people from the town prevent this from happening.
