Beyond the Mountains

Ana has been intercepted by the federal guard and has no option but to flee away from the safety of the road that crosses the mountains, going off track in the darkness of night.
Deep In the mountains, Ana begins to realize that she is not alone and that the reasons that lead her here, puts her in harms way and at the mercy of their persecutors.
The story portrays the struggle of a woman that makes the unimaginable to achieve the impossible in an inhospitable place. Testing at all times the human character that surpasses the physical fragility of our protagonist.
