Sinopsis

I remember the night the story of my family changed. We got a call from Peru telling us my aunt Sibila was in prison on suspicion of belonging to Sendero Luminoso. I was only seven and thanks to my parents’ protective silence, the figure of my aunt became a great mystery in my life. She was in prison for fifteen years. Today she is free and I want to discover her, listen to her and understand her.

Bio/Filmo
