Cuando era niño vi con mi padre el mundial de fútbol USA 94. Vivíamos en un pueblo conservador, y yo tenía el corte de pelo de Roberto Baggio, el jugador italiano. Mi padre me cortó el pelo gritando: ¡Motílese como un hombre! Este documental es la búsqueda, aún sin respuesta, sobre cuál será ese corte justo de hombre en Colombia.

En el 2006, Héctor Abad Faciolince publicó El olvido que seremos, un desgarrador relato de la vida y muerte de su padre Héctor Abad Gómez, un colombiano pionero en el campo de la salud pública y un vehemente defensor de los derechos humanos, que fue asesinado a sangre fría por un sicario en las calles de Medellín en 1987. El documental reconstruye la historia del libro adentrándose en los espacios más íntimos de la familia Abad y apoyándose en un valioso archivo familiar. Entre la memoria personal y la memoria histórica, en “una batalla contra la desmemoria, contra el olvido”, Carta a una Sombra presenta un escalofriante retrato de la violencia política que azotó a Colombia y elabora una radiografía de la sociedad colombiana desde la intimidad del duelo de la familia Abad.

It is the year of grace of 1950. Ignacio (11) is celebrating his First Communion, a step that, according to catholics, puts him closer to God and opens up a space for him in the believers community. Communion implies, he will have enough grace to go to Paradise one day. It is also the day he is declared as a “conscious” person. However, from long time before, his tutor, sister Josefa, and the priest of the church, have said terrible things about his dead father, a communist that by now, as they say, should be burning in hell’s fire.
