Camilo Escobar

A Mother

Alejandro, the youngest of his recently deceased father's two sons, is brimming with anger, upset that his father and older brother have for so long committed his mother to a rural Colombian mental asylum. He's convinced that the place for his schizophrenic mother is at home with her loved ones, not in an institution. While on an unannounced visit, he kidnaps his mother to take her home with him once and for all – but Alejandro is soon overwhelmed by his mother's mental incapacities as they embark on a journey of love and commitment, of emotional and physical extremes.

The Inheritance

Amalia is Carmelo's sister, but she doesn't know it until her father's death. She believes that she travels to Medellín to claim her inheritance, but she travels to face what she has fled her whole life: her father, family, origins, a land that she doesn't like but she carries in the inside. Amalia's father is just the sender of a letter. Carmelo's father is his life itself. This is the story of the meeting of two brothers and the memory of a house.
