- Synopsis
- Jose, an old fisherman
  Returns home after a long night of work,
  Fearing the worst.
  When he gets home, his daughter is crying:
  Paramilitaries have killed Jose’s two sons,
  Dionisio and Rafael, and thrown their bodies into the river.
  
  Racked by deep pain,
  Jose decides to set out to find them.
  He uses a powerful prayer
  And all of his traditional beliefs to stay alive.
  He wants to bury his loved ones as they deserve
  And keep them from wandering about
  Like so many other wandering souls.
  
  This is the story of his solitary journey.
  
  In his rowboat,
  Jose will discover
  The magic of a country that has been torn apart,
  The bodies of other children,
  The violence of a teenage army,
  Coordinated by a handful of commanders
  And the terrible fear that seeps into everything it touches.
  Only one thing will make these soldiers back down:
  The revenge of all the souls
  That they themselves have made to wander.
  Jose knows this
  And uses it to his advantage.
  
  His tenacity
  And the need to preserve his humanity
  Will finally bring him what he was looking for
  In the midst of an unprecedented flood:
  What is left of his sons’ bodies.
