| Synopsis |
| The story of the everyday routine of a man, Porfirio, whose life has been trapped in a paralysed body due to a stray bullet of the Colombian police. Confined within the walls of his house, facing the limits of his physical condition and economic difficulties, Porfirio tenaciously fights his battle with the government to obtain compensation. When he realizes that his is a lost cause, he meditates on a dramatic gesture. |
