Antes De La Fiesta

• Watchlist

These are the weeks before the city's carnival, one of the largest in the Caribbean. Laura has returned to the country after studying journalism abroad and is working in the same newspaper where her father made a career. And that seems to be the greatest of her challenges: fighting the shadow of her father, who committed suicide when she was barely five years old. Due to her origin and contacts, Laura arouses suspicions and envies among the members of the editorial team, and no one seems to take her seriously. But the opportunity to prove his worth as a professional comes with the case of floods in the south of the city that have left hundreds of peasants homeless and landless. When she went to the place, Laura contacted Don José, leader of one of the traditional carnival groups. Don José dies in strange circumstances before Laura can interview him thoroughly. However, he manages to put her on the track that suggests a criminal hand in the floods: "It's a land issue," the old man tells him. This is the beginning of a dizzying investigation that will put Laura and the convictions that support her life to the test, confronting her with the decay of the human soul, the supernatural, the fragile borders of ethics and, especially, in the shadow of his father.
