Synopsis

In an isolated small town overwhelmed by torrential rains, not only the inhabitants live in poverty, but are also harassed by political repression. There is a war for power between the family that holds economic control of the region and the auditor sent by the central government. As if this were not enough, the town is stirred by anonymous notes delivered during the night, telling the secrets of its inhabitants. Amid this chaos, all kinds of passions, betrayals and vendettas arise without those involved know where truth begins and where it ends. Based on the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez "In Evil Hour", the film tells a story of love and hate in which past and future get confused.
