Through the eyes of three different generations of women who live in an irregular urban settlement in Estado de México, we witness their daily lives and problems. A true lesson about the real value of human beings.

The Arhuaco’s unique territory, which stretches from the snow-covered peaks of the Andes to the clear blue waters of the Caribbean has allowed the community to maintain their traditional way of life and unique belief system with very little outside influence. However in recent decades their ancestral lands have become a battleground and the Arhuaco have found themselves caught between Colombia’s drug-fueled armed conflict and at the mercy of global warming which is rapidly melting the Pico Simón Bolívar glacier, which is a vital source of water for the community and of immense cultural and spiritual significance to the mountain dwellers. How can places, inscribed with cultural significance, be reclaimed after they have been ravaged by military violence? What power does the image have in this struggle for social justice? What is the responsibility of the filmmaker to his or her subjects?
