Synopsis
Ignacio is thirty years old and father to a girl of ten. Being such a young father produces in him plenty of fear and doubts about the family. Separated from his daughter’s mother, he has remade his life with Alejandra, with whom he is expecting a baby. Ignacio and Alejandra are very excited by the news, but both fear the ghosts of previous relationships.
While they try to come to terms with their circumstances, they produce a documentary on women who are looking for their husbands and fathers; men that were disappeared in 1982 during the armed conflict in an indigenous village of Guatemala.
