An experimental documentary that dares to gather diverse and plural audiovisual archive materials, which gives itself the possibility of creating an imaginary, but concrete, intense and profound conversation between the filmmaker Marta Rodríguez and the indefinable Camilo Torres Restrepo.

Perhaps this is the greatest legacy that Camilo left to those who are still alive.
