In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, Saor takes Valentina, their lover, back to her home village to bury her. Having left the village years before becoming a successful trans singer in a faraway city, people still seem to know Valentina under the name Pol. Her past and her death remain an enigma. Little by little, as they meet the villagers, Saor begins to understand what life was like for Valentina under the terror that was inflicted to her by members of the Shining Path: a life of intimidation, rejection and violence.
A haunting and moving film with unique visuals and sounds.
