Three young actresses recreate testimonies of women who suffered sexual assault during the Salvadoran civil war in a fable guided by the history of Indigo, which narrates the exploitation of land and bodies in El Salvador.
Once upon a time, an indigo spirit stopped in El Salvador and found the story of a country wounded and tired of centuries of violence.
What surprised the spirit the most is that many wounds were still open. It was then that the spirit decided to bring together three young actresses to interpret and share the testimonies of women who were raped during the civil war in that country. This is their story.
