Synopsis

On Lake Maracaibo, beneath the mysterious silent Catatumbo lightning, the village of Congo Mirador is preparing for parliamentary elections. For streetwise local businesswoman and Chavista party representative Tamara every vote counts, fought for by all means, while for opposition-supporting teacher Natalia, politics is a weapon that unsuccessfully attempts to force her out of her job.

And with her sharp eyes, little Yoaini sees her community sinking from sedimentation, her childhood and innocence with it. How can a small fishing village survive against corruption, pollution and political decay, a reflection of all of contemporary Venezuela’s flaws?
