Josefina was born in Sweden as a daughter of Peruvian exiles, but her Peruvian family played a key role in the country's history - her aunt and uncle were the founders of the country's communist party Shining Path and behind the armed uprising of 1980. In this film, she travels back to Peru and meets Flor, whose brother was imprisoned for belonging to Shining Path. Flor was born into the war that Josefina's family fled. Their meeting will mark them both forever.
