Synopsis

During a night of 1989, in the middle of the Salvadoran civil war, six Jesuit priests were murdered at the UCA University in San Salvador. The news has an immediate international repercussion, because among the murdered priests is a prestigious intellectual, Ignacio Ellacuría. Their position was key in the foreseeable peace agreement, the ideal tool to end a decade of bloody war. Who killed them? The government immediately blamed the guerrillas but an eyewitness debunked the official version. Her name is Lucía and she works as a cleaning employee at the UCA. She has seen who were the real killers: the army. Now she will have to choose between testifying for the truth or protect her family.
