A documentary that takes us to the most painful place in Mexico, the place left by the dead and the disappeared of the war against drugs, where desperate claims for justice resound. It is an encounter on a Mexico in resistance. It is a reflection with Javier Sicilia, about his pain over the murder of his son Juan Francisco, who was the mirror that acknowledged many other victims of violence.
