The people of La Bonga took refuge in the jungle during Colombia's civil war, fleeing right-wing paramilitary groups. The documentary focuses on these people who, after 20 years, embark on a symbolic journey to give new life to their home, which now exists only in their memories. Led by Maria de los Santos, the leader of this matriarchal community, this is a bittersweet and poetic homecoming story of the former townspeople and their descendants in a Caribbean jungle.
