Can life grow in a place devastated by violence and unpunished crimes? Can people smile and keep on living when they have lost their most beloved family members? A plurality of testimonies, structured in fragmented pieces, tell  personal stories of loss and military abuse during the Salvadoran Civil War of the 80s, a conflict that lasted 12 years and killed 75,000 people in the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America.
