PëRMBLEDHJE

Colombia 1998, Amparo, a single mother, struggles to free her teenage son after he is drafted by the army and will be sent to the front in a feared war zone. She is thrown into a race against time in a society ruled by men, corruption and violence. After a long night's shift, Amparo, a single mother of two, returns home to find her children are not there. Her eldest son Elias failed to pick up his little sister Karen from school. While searching for him, Amparo soon finds out that he has been drafted as a "regular soldier" during an army raid and will be sent to the front in a feared war zone near the border. His fate is doomed. With only a single day left until his departure, Amparo manages to contact a man who offers to alter Elias' files and get him out – but the money he asks is well beyond her means. With nothing much on her side, Amparo decides to embark on a journey against time in a society ruled by men, corruption and violence, acutely aware that the task at hand is an almost impossible undertaking.
