When director Juan Miguel Gelacio began listening to the stories of mothers searching for their missing sons in Colombia, he thought it would make for an interesting documentary. However, over time, he came to believe that the narratives of these mothers could also beautifully fit into a short fictional film. As the project developed, Gelacio brought in Esteban Hoyos García, co-director of the film "Jungle," to join the team.

Esteban Hoyos García emphasizes the importance of remembering the missing in Colombia. The country's confrontation with a right-wing government makes it even more urgent to tell these stories. The directors aim to revive social memory by showcasing the pain and uncertainty experienced by the families of the missing. This film not only questions individual stories but also the dark periods in Colombia's history.

While the film carries the message that the missing must be remembered and not forgotten, it also aims to make the audience feel the societal impacts of this tragedy. Through this project, Gelacio and García highlight the importance of confronting Colombia's past and the pursuit of justice. Such productions play a critical role in social memory and provoke thought among viewers.
