About

A 56-year-old Afro-Ecuadorian woman opens her home near the Ecuadorian-Colombian border to Venezuelan migrants arriving on foot.

In an Ecuadorian border town, Carmela, a 56-year-old Afro-Ecuadorian woman, lives with her husband and eight children near the Ecuadorian-Colombian border. She has opened her home to Venezuelan migrants arriving on foot, offering free and temporary shelter and food. Her house is a hub for a constant flow of people leaving Venezuela in the hope of finding better days in other South American countries. Carmela supports them through cross-border trade with Colombia, often by unconventional means.

The film is a documentary directed by Esteban Coloma and Luis Herrera.
