The search for their murdered father’s spirit reunites two siblings after a long time. Juanita Onzaga remains behind the camera, her calm voice accompanying her brother Pablo. Moving between light and darkness, the film sees them venturing beyond Bogotá and deep into the Columbian jungle, where they seek refuge with their family. Trying to uncover their family’s secrets, they begin a search for the mystical relationship between life and death.
Juanita Onzaga is born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1991. She moved to Belgium to study film at the Luca School of Arts Sint-Lucas. Moving between these two countries has influenced her storytelling inspired by magic realism; populated by ghosts and spirits, the stories are set in fantasy worlds as well as in jungles and cities. She has worked as a cinematographer and director on several short films and documentaries: The Jungle Knows You Better Than You Do (2016), Here/Nowhere (2015), Skin of the Other (2014).
