Azúcar para el café de los velorios

Abstract

The house of Doña Betty is a sanctuary adorned with saints and virgins. While she prays in front of the static television, her neighbor Nela enters asking about their missing grandchildren. Both women worry when they discover why they haven’t come home from school. Outside, in front of the cemetery, an inexplicable chaos unfolds. Years later, on a tragic anniversary, a survivor recounts her experience in the event that changed her life. Meanwhile, a local homeless man observes the scene, amidst confusion and tragedy, with a sense of connection to the deads lying in the cemetery.
