    • Synopsis
    • Freddy (18) receives military induction along with other young men. While he endures the rigor of the army, his fascination for Zúñiga (20) awakens, and he discovers in the military practice a kind of seduction. The rumor of war generates uneasiness and anxiety in the soldiers. Freddy is sent to the jungle where the Colombian armed conflict intensifies, and under the cold gaze of Zapata (20), Freddy must embody his most warlike version. Disturbed by the horror of combat, Freddy mistakenly wounds a comrade and flees in terror. Contact with nature transforms him, but Private Zapata recaptures and subdues him. An unfortunate event reveals that he is not made for war and seeks to escape, even at the cost of his own life.
