    • Synopsis
    • Jorge (27), a young coffee farmer, sees his farm´s harvest threatened by a terrible plague and heavy rains.
      The annual Virgin del Carmen festivities are near, bringing along a massive arrival of his old school friends who now live in the city. After ten years of separation, Jorge has to face his past. The yearning for recovering his childhood love vanishes when he discovers that everything they had in common has faded away. After a chaotic, frantic weekend, Jorge realizes that the plague not only lives in his coffee crops, but also dwells in the streets of the village and in the minds of many of those who visit it.
