Genaro is a farmer who has been ordered by the paramilitary to deliver
the dead bodies of combatants and an envelope with money to their
mothers. Genaro is immune to the pain of death. His job has ripped his
soul apart and he hopes for only one thing: finding a particular body
amongst the dead.
* Genaro est un paysan à qui l'armée a confié la mission de ramener
les corps des combattants à leur mère avec une enveloppe contenant de
l'argent liquide. Ce travail l'a rendu indifférent à la mort et il ne
souhaite qu'une chose : trouver parmi tous ces morts le corps qu'il
cherche.
