Ríos de Ceniza (Rivers of Ash)

Esteban decides to end his life by jumping from a bridge to a large water dam that transports him to a dream universe where he embarks on a purgatory journey in which he faces his past and his insecurities; As he progresses along this timeless path, Esteban remembers his remote house among the Colombian mountains where he works under the command of his father, who behaves like a despotic hierarch who governs this family, also made up of Esteban's wife and Juan who is their little son. This tour will be the way to better understand a betrayal that leads Esteban to death and the fear that Juan always had towards a myth of a natural disaster that could occur in these mountains.
