SYNOPSIS
20 years have passed since the signing of the Peace Accords to end the civil war in El Salvador (1980-92), a conflict in which the army and the FMLN’s guerrillas confronted each other. The operations of the armed forces in rural areas had devastating consequences for the civil population, with thousands of people dead or disappeared. In the middle of the war, ”The Metal Stork” determined the fate of Ana Lilian, Ricardo and Blanca: from the adoption of Ricardo by a military family, the lost wandering of Ana Lilian after surviving the massacre of her entire family and Blanca’s arrival in Spain. They were children who disappeared in the 1980s and today they are trying to understand their past so as to bring peace to their future”.
