Private Project

Swallows on the amber horizon

It is an introspective journey that follows the director as she returns to the memories of her childhood and her homeland in Angostura, Antioquia - Colombia. Migrating like a swallow, she explores the duality she has experienced between urban and rural life. As personal memories intertwine with the stories of those who still work the land, a profound reflection emerges on belonging, abandonment, and the future of rural life.
