- Synopsis
- Guazapa volcano, El Salvador, 1986.
  A Guerrilla formation, lead by Felipe (Geovanny Alvarado), executes the mission of
  installing landmines on the pathways the army uses at raids.
  Unnoticed surrounded by an enemy patrol while on their mission, the formation is
  forced to disband and retreat during an intense exchange of fire.
  Pablo (Arturo Rivera) is wounded during his retreat, and takes shelter until the
  danger is past.
  After leaving his shelter, he finds the lifeless body of his brother. His loss makes
  him decide to leave the fight behind and go in search of his mother.
  After departing he comes across Julio (Alejandro Lopez), a soldier lost in the
  vastness of the volcano. As they fought hand to hand, their fight was interrupted by
  a bombing of the area. Forced to take shelter together, their rivalry continues.
  Due to the circumstances but still distrustful, they decide to join together in order to
  leave Guazapa alive, putting their lives in jeopardy for this alliance.
  After surmounting some tasks, a lost little girl crosses their path, so they decide to
  take her back to her family. The path that takes them out of the mountains also
  takes them to dangerous encounters with fighters from both sides, facing
  repeatedly life-or-death situations.
  After being surprised and captured by Chamba (Nilson Urbina), a guerrilla fighter
  ex-comrade of Pablo, their luck seems to have ran out. The situation turns critic by
  the close proximity of an army platoon.
