Synopsis

Nicaragua, 1979: a decades-long dictatorship is overthrown and the revolutionary Sandinistas seize power. For young Gloria, they are superheroes, particularly since her parents are on the front lines of the coup and the subsequent civil war. But the revolution takes its toll: her parents’ dedication to the cause leads them to spend less time with their children. Years later, Gloria -now an adult- grabs her camera to portray some of these painful subjects related to her parents’ absence.
