Everyone has pending affairs

A grim reckoning with trauma and complicity, where a chance reunion forces a former soldier to confront his violent past and seek redemption through an act of vengeance.
Magallanes sees his humdrum life turn upside down the day Celina, a women he met in the violent years when he was a soldier with the Peruvian Army, jumps into his taxi in a Lima street.
