synopsis

En

Maria Jose and Alma grow up in chaotic Bogotá, bound by friendship and determined to stay while many peers dream of leaving. Alma mourns her brother, killed in the 2019 protests, revisiting his footage as the friends share vivid, sometimes linked dreams. Maria Jose discovers Colombia’s mystical antipode: Dan Sai, Thailand. Through dreams, they travel temples and rivers, learning of rituals binding lands. Protest memories in both nations echo shared youth hopes. A meteorite opens a portal; sacrifice is revealed needless. They witness Thailand’s Phi Ta Khon, where spirits return, and Alma imagines her brother’s joyful return.
