Wilson (Julián Román) is a young father who joins Columbia's guerrilla army out of frustration with the country's political situation, abandoning his wife, Paulina (Carolina Lizarazo), and their child in the process. Meanwhile, Wilson's brother, Toño (John Álex Toro), becomes a member of the regular armed forces. When tragedy strikes, Toño assumes responsibility for his brother's family -- but Paulina decides to flee her home for what she hopes will be improved circumstances in the capital.

Audience Member Good story about these couple who has to face Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Es cortica pero muy chévere!! Me gusta la actuación de John Alex Toro Y Julián Roman. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member muchos momentos de esta peli se me hacen muy teatrales que bueno seria ver esta historia en las tablas Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film this. The acting is solid, the story-telling is a little too fragmented although admirably bold in its narrative construction. The characters do induce sympathy and the gritty realism gives it an almost documentary feel. Certainly worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member La primera noche es un cortometraje de Roberto Gomez B. y mola el gordo xD.
