BOOK NOW

Guatemalan military general Enrique Monteverde is put on trial for ordering the genocide of the country’s native people. However, through sheer luck, he evades any kind of punishment. In the aftermath, he shuts down with his family in his mansion, surrounded by an increasing number of furious citizens who demand justice to be served. Despite the fact that his wife and daughter are not dealing well with the situation, the general is confident of his future. One night, he hears a woman’s lament, but he is not able to find her, which drives him madder and madder. The servants leave the mansion as a result. Is this a real threat, or maybe it’s a delayed feeling of remorse?
