    • Synopsis
    • On April 15, 2016, Dolores city, in Uruguay, was torn through transversely by a tornado with winds of 330 kph, which killed at least 5 people, injured countless people, affected more than 9.000 people, and caused a loss of millions of US dollars. Almost half of the settlers were injured and 130 blocks were decimated.
      Five years later, in an empty room, different testimonies are given by 12 survivors of the catastrophe, who resiliently try to heal a wound that remains capriciously among so much rubble and so much lost history.
