In this gritty drama, a group of forensic anthropologists dig up the corpses of nine people who disappeared without a trace 20 years ago during a violent political conflict. The only thing that can lead to the identity of the deceased is a vague photo of a smiling girl found in a shirt pocket. Fidel, a thoughtful investigator fascinated by the case, struggles to maintain a scientific approach to his work when a lonely widow shows up convinced he is her disappeared husband. Should he conduct a thorough investigation that may leave the widow’s plea unanswered or grant her the closure she has been searching for decades? Official Selection at the **San Francisco International Film Festival**. Awarded Best Peruvian Film by the **Peruvian Criti...cs Association**. *“Director Hector Gálvez takes a nuanced, heartfelt look at the raw humanity behind a country’s efforts to come to terms with a dark chapter in its history, namely the ruthless violence employed against leftist guerrillas in the 1980s. Paul Vega is excellent as Fidel, perfectly conveying the investigation’s toll on his troubled psyche.” – Clarence Tsui, **The Hollywood Reporter*** more
