SYNOPSIS In a small town in the Colombian Andes, a man appears one night, returning from a premature and violent death. His presence revolutionizes the town, but soon the celebration turns into fear. The police takes him to jail. He is soon released, then successively kidnapped, pursued by a mob of fanatics and buried. After his repeated and stubborn returns, his mother and sister must flee with him in the middle of the night.
