Alicia is helpless. War memories invade her mind like threatening thunder. Uprooted by the armed conflict, she tries to reshape her life in La Sirga, a dilapidated hostel on the shores of a great lake in the highlands of the Andes. There, on a swampy and murky beach, she will try to settle down until her fears and the threat of war resurface again.

    Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter
  • "Evocative! William Vega's first feature is the latest in an impressive string of Colombian arthouse films."
    Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
