1983. Hector, a literature student in Turin, is invited to go to Medellin to attend a ceremony given in tribute to his father, Dr. Hector Abad Gomez, a university professor and ardent defender of human rights. The return to his native Colombia awakens in Hector memories of his happy childhood with his devout mother, his five sisters and above all, his protective and loving father, whose commitment to those most in need he has always admired. However, the eminent doctor is now being pushed into retirement because of his controversial political and religious views.
