Synopsis
A review of the suffering recent history of Guatemala seen by its different protagonists: the military, the politicians, the indigenous peoples, etc. The wind preserves the ancestral memory of the Guatemalan indigenous peoples. Testimonies from the oppressed and the oppressors reveal a reality that is letting the veil fall before the camera lens. And beneath the horror, a culture that resists being subjugated.
