A Vanishing Fog

A VANISHING FOG

ENTRE LA NIEBLA also known internationally as A VANISHING FOG is an innovative and artistic cinematic work that unfolds in the mysterious Paramo of Sumapaz, the biggest of its kind in the world; a crucial territory for the ecological balance of the Western hemisphere, which has suffered in its own flesh all of Colombia’s social and historical conflicts. Never seen before on the screen, this place is a natural wonder and water factory hiding invaluable resources, increasingly endangered by human ambition.

Synopsis
