  In a small town among the southern mountains, an anonymous cameraman films in Super 8mm the burial of the country's first and only indigenous priest, killed by paramilitaries. At the same time in the cold capital, a group of youngsters filmed, also in Super 8mm, a fictional thriller where a murderer persecutes and kills his victim. Both films were lost from their owners, passed thru different hands and places untilchance joined them to the bottom of an old box, they remained motionless without being seen more than thirty years. Today the most recent peace agreement attempt is falling apart, the films have come to light, bringing an obscure omen of death and repetition.
