In their first night at the house, in the middle of an atmosphere full of violence, the family expects with anxiety the upcoming peace of the dawn.

Director's Statement This story is inspired from accounts by my uncle Arnoldo Muñoz and his wife, Miriam Salazar. They were nomadic farmers for much of their life, and this movie represents a part of that life. I like to explore the atmosphere of violence through sound, light, and nature. I prefer to suggest what is happening instead of showing it. Also, I work with people that have absolutely no acting experience, searching for their authenticity in their voices and body language.
