Summary

After twelve years away, Larry comes home to his native country of Colombia after his father, a old associate of Pablo Escobar, is murdered. Larry returns to collect his remains from a mass grave and give him a proper burial...but not before a reunion with his childhood friend, Pedro. Pedro picks him up at the airport to take him directly to the Alborada celebration - a popular festival where fireworks explode over Medellín, and the entire city loses its inhibitions. Faced by an uncertain reality, Larry is forced to confront his family's turbulent history and reclaim himself from the dark remnants of a city still trying to rediscover itself
