Del Otro Lado plot

The mother of filmmaker Iván Guarnizo was kidnapped in 2004 by the Colombian guerrilla movement FARC. She was released after 20 months. She died six years later, shortly after the start of the talks between the FARC and the Colombian government that resulted in a peace agreement in 2016. Now that more than fifty years of bloody conflict is over, Iván and his brother finally see a chance to confront this part of their family past. When their mother was alive, they were not open to the stories she told about her time in the jungle, but now they are starting to read the detailed diary she kept during her captivity. They decide to follow the path back to where she was kidnapped and try to contact her guards.
