Action thriller directed by Norberto López Amado ('La decisión de Julia') and written by Jorge Guerricaechevarría. Laura (Belén Rueda) is a woman desperate to find her sister Sara, who disappeared long ago in the jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo while working as a missionary. Neither the NGOs with which she collaborated nor the Spanish Embassy managed to find her back then, but a photo found in a mining town in eastern Congo puts back the track on her disappearance. So, Laura decides to undertake a dangerous journey to the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, to find her sister and will not stop until they are together again. But along the way she will be forced to challenge the warlords and discover the bitter truth of the ins and outs of international powers in the Third World. The production of the film is done by Telecinco Cinema and Ikiru Films.
