Life seems to proceed at its normal pace in that guest house in Bogota where a number of families with no resources struggle to pay the monthly rent to Lucia (Laura Garcia), the owner. But one morning of November 1985, Julietta (Andrea Gómez), the young daughter, does not return from her job at the Palace of Justice. After the army attack to repress a guerrilla coup, a number of people have “desaparecido”, not longer accounted for: Julietta is one of them. The desperate search for her by the members of the comunity, and the tensions that the situation creates will lead to uncontrollable violence.
