Like every day, Alicia takes her son to school. Michael, a teenager overwhelmed by his mother's protection, knows that he can't do much. She is determined to prevent him from being recruited by gangs that spread terror in neighborhoods with invisible borders where every step taken has to be calculated. This is the story of Alicia, the day her son doesn't return from school, and of Michael, the day his miscalculated steps lead them both to the abyss.

A Matter of Land recounts the first year of application of Colombian's Land Restitution Act from the perspective of a community who decide to engage with the process. The film explores the tensions that arise when such communities come face to face with the complex institutions responsible for enforcing the law. The result of these tensions is a narrative worthy of Kafka, in which a doorway to justice is opened for the sole purpose of demonstrating that no one can pass through it.
