Plot
[edit | edit source]Romer (German Mendieta) is a successful architect in Caracas as the story opens. It has presumably been years since he visited his mother, Ninfa (Ramona Perez), in the Andean section of the country. When he receives an old family photo in the mail, he becomes consumed with the disquieting sense of her imminent death. As he travels back to his birthplace, Romer’s story unfolds. A bright youngster, he’s selected to attend a seminary and possibly enter the priesthood. Instead, he winds up in the streets of Merida, first selling produce and later as part of a band of touring players. In Caracas, he lands a job washing dishes until the opportunity arises to teach school in a remote farming community.[4]
