Storyline
Seventy-year-old José de los Santos lives in a village on Colombia’s Pacific coast. He learned the art of ritual burial as a child. Like his ancestors who were brought to Colombia as African slaves, he accompanies the dying and the dead on their way to eternal rest. One day, the ghost of his son Pium Pium, who was brutally murdered years ago, appears to José and tells him of his own impending death. Pium Pium warns his father that he must not die near his home; above all, he must be sure to cross over to the other side in peace. José embarks on his final journey, entering the jungle to find a place to die. But the area is controlled by armed groups. He must dodge their bullets and violence to save his soul from purgatory.
