Synopsis

How to tell a story through the voices of people who are still afraid to talk about the past? Through the 1970s, the journalist Elías Barahona, also known as “El Topo”(“The Mole”), succeeded in infiltrating the most repressive government in Guatemala, that of General Romeo García. Lifting the veil on the story of this secretive and unusual individual, Anaïs Taracena’s camera captures the moments when the revelations from the past probes the cracks in the walls of silence of the country’s hidden history.
