The journey of getting into the skin of a 22-year-old girl at the moment when one has her first loves, her first parties, her first trips… At that vital moment she decides to put everything on pause and spend eight years pretending to be someone else. Eight years into a lie to achieve something as intangible as the common good. She was a woman in the 90s. And for that reason alone she went unnoticed. This film aims to thank him,” explains the filmmaker.

From this moment on, the most difficult mission of her life begins: informing her superiors while living with two terrorists who, if they ever suspect her, will not hesitate to kill her.

Every forty years, the devil, one of the nicknames we would give him there, awakens again and takes away everything we have. It is very difficult to see your house and that of your neighbors and friends forty meters underground. There is no choice but to start again, but this time without forgetting that nature and the volcanoes are the true owners of the lands we inhabit. Although as Héctor, a friend of the group, says: Friends cannot be taken away by the volcano.”

It is a feature-length documentary that combines real image and animation, directed by Ignasi Guerrero y Arturo Mendizand which represents an approach to the world of children’s ICUs, taking as its premise the story of Guerrero himself, whose son Pep was born with serious heart disease and died at 4 months of age.
Through him, the documentary approaches the doctors, nurses and several of the fathers and mothers with whom he and his wife met in the ICU. «People don’t know it, they don’t know what this is. The world of neonatal and pediatric ICUs, in which families and health personnel try to save the lives of so many children, is a hard world and, at the same time, beautiful. My son Pep was there fighting for four months to live. It is an unknown world, because it is part of one of the greatest taboos in our society. One of the parents who coincided with me in the ICU expressed it in a revealing way,” explains Ignasi Guerrero.
“When my son died, many close people chose silence. I understand this reaction, partly because of the shock it caused them and, above all, because they did not know how to approach the situation. Even today, many avoid mentioning Pep in conversations, or are surprised that I do so, as if he had never existed. This inevitably makes the grieving process difficult and increases the feeling of loneliness,” he recalls.

Seven years have passed since Pep’s death and Ignasi begins an emotional journey that leads him to visit doctors, nurses and other parents with whom they met in the ICU to understand what happened. A journey in which he rediscovers the need to talk about those children and remember them, especially when their death is invisible to so many people.
