Synopsis

Tomas, a black adolescent boy forced to flee Colombia’s
Pacific coast because of the war, is trying to make his way
in Bogotá, a traditionally racist city. In Bogotá he begins a
desperate search to find his younger brother Jairo, who has
been swallowed up by the streets and crack cocaine. Alongside
his older brother Chaco, who sees illegal migration as the
only possible means of escaping marginalization, Tomas sets
off on a voyage of initiation into Bogotá’s Afro community,
discovering a network of spaces forged by the city’s black
population. The city in transformation forces Tomas to test
his mettle and set aside his fear, nostalgia and wounds from
the past to start over again at 2,600 meters above sea level,
and far from the sea.
