A war that seemed eternal in Colombia starts to dissolve slowly. I was born under this war and am a direct victim of this conflict. Growing up, I have been searching for a way to transform this violence into something else, to poetize what the war has left us, to evoke the possibility of building something new once it is gone.
Recently, a peace agreement was signed, which allows us to start thinking of war as part of the past. The first report about disappearances in Colombia was released: more than 80.000 people disappeared during the war. I imagined all these lost souls floating through our landscapes, including my father’s. This image haunts me.
As I grew up, my grandma told me stories about strange beings living in dark forests and lost souls flying over the plains. Oral storytelling had a strong influence on me. These stories, invented to deal with our reality, become one with reality itself.
In this film, I aim to explore the plurality of these stories through the eyes of a young girl. The film will be an experience built upon her sensations and imagination. To question how the invisible world is present within our reality, dissolving the limits between real and imagined worlds, the visible and the invisible.
