The film deals with how the effects of a dictatorship remain vivid, even after its fall. It is a film about the abuses of the state, about fear, and about how silence is passed on from one generation to the next. It is about the space that, despite all that is known, is left to ghosts who make it impossible to live fully in the present. Three generations walled in silence. It is a legacy of denial, as nothing has been put back in its place and nothing has been said. Killing the dictator is not enough to kill the dictatorship.
