What are the reasons for killing a man? My father, a 65 years old Colombian union leader, suffered an attempt in 2014. Despite the threats and exiles, he still bets everything for the revolution. I got from my dad the need to believe in utopias, but I do not know where to put them today. In this film I start an intimate trip with my dad and his history. This gets me involved through the contradictions of my own family and moments of the recent history of my country and the world where the intolerance and the violence is demonstrated towards whom think differently. With mistakes and blunders, he made part of a generation who dreamt of a project of society, whereas mine is not ready to bet very much for the union. What collective dream do we aspire today as a society?
