Santiago and his parents travel from Italy to Colombia to visit his maternal grandparents. We are in 2011, the period of maximum diffusion of the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). The paramilitaries reach the family's home in the middle of the night and kidnap the child from his parents to kidnap him in the Amazon jungle and enlist him as a child soldier. For the parents a tortuous ordeal begins which will involve the Italian and Colombian governments to bring the child home, but the jungle has its rules.
