Eileen plot

Dutch student Eileen teaches at a school in Bogota when she is confronted with the imbalance in Colombian society. Her idealism ensures that she refuses to resign herself to the status quo and her actions against injustice slowly take on an activist character. Via via, Eileen is introduced to the FARC, the largest rebel movement in South America. She takes up arms and engages in armed struggle. A step that is difficult for the home front to comprehend, but for Eileen the only possible way. Inspired by Tanja Nijmeijer.
