Thirty years after the start of the internal war in Peru and ten years after publication of the Report of the Commission on Truth, the documentary inquires about the fate of the 16,000 disappeared persons resulting from actions of the Peruvian government and Shining Path in the Peruvian Andes. It narrates the story of three persons who travel from different towns to the Public Prosecutor’s office in the city of Huamanga, in Ayacucho, where they expect to receive the remains of their relatives and to arrange for a proper burial. During this process, they tell us about the violence and the pain they experienced, their life stories and their incessant struggle to survive in those times.
