Decades after they were forced to flee their village in the Colombian jungle, a community makes a poetically rendered return home.

콜롬비아 과히라사막 한복판. 와유족 원주민 소녀 도리스가 죽은 사촌을 마지막으로 만나기 위해 유해를 파내는 의식을 행한다. 제의를 통해 도리스는 죽음과 대면하고 산 자와 죽은 자의 세계, 꿈과 현실이 뒤섞이는 순간을 경험한다.

How come you didn't wake me up when my soul was leaving? On the border between Colombia and Venezuela, inside an old pickup truck, Wayuú people, Arabs, Venezuelans and Colombians from different times cross the desert sharing the trance of the journey. Among them, the soul of Josefa, a Wayuú woman, returns to her land in order to meet with her family after several years of exile. Her memories blend with the present, resurrecting the dead and blurring the idea of the frontier.
