Film Synopsis
Bogotá, 1840. Ten years after the assassination of General Antonio José de Sucre (1830), in the jungle of Berruecos, New Granada, present-day Colombia, the trial on his death is reopened. Captain Alejandro Godoy, as prosecutor, is in charge of the trial after discovering that a large part of the file of the previous trial has been destroyed.
At the risk of his own life, Godoy exposes the myths of the bourgeoisie of the time and a high-level conspiracy behind the M**der of a man with great potential for political projection, the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho. A police thriller based on the assassination of General Antonio José de Sucre.
