The midst of a civil war, 13-year-old Anita, joins the Colombian guerrilla to protect her younger brother, Pablo, and quickly adopts the guerrilla’s revolutionary ideology. The children’s allegiance is tested as Pablo, unable to cope in the guerrilla camp, pressures Anita to leave. When Anita rejects Pablo’s plea to escape, he makes a desperate choice that will force her to make an impossible decision.
