Synopsis

In 2016, three teenagers were given full access to make a documentary in Guayaquil's oldest and largest mental hospital. Over the course of two years, they shot almost 100 hours of footage. Seven years later, they reflect on their role as incredibly inexperienced documenters, and attempt to compose a humanistic portrait of daily life in this institution and the people they met.
