Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This historical drama is set in the 19th century Colombia and traces the construction of the railroad linking Medellin to the Magdalena River. On the ground, the terrain is a constant challenge as swamps alternate with jungles that seem to grow back as fast as they are cut. Politically, military coups and civil wars constantly threaten the progress of the railway.
