The Absent Ones

A family has been waiting for years for the return of their son who disappeared during the armed conflict in Colombia. When the mother decides to take an active search, she begins a journey that will force her to confront truths she did not want to know. A portrait of the pain of the families of the disappeared Colombians that combines documentary with fiction to build an intimate and powerful memorial of a national wound that remains unhealed.

Yulene Olaizola makes a cinema of silences and nature that few know how to do. The absent ones as a metaphor for disappearance in Mexico.
