Synopsis
In the early 2000s, 19-year-old Tanja from the Netherlands decides to go to Colombia as an au pair and is immediately confronted with the country's political turmoil. Horrified by the injustice she observes, she joins the largest guerrilla army in the world, FARC, and takes up arms to fight. After years in the dangerous jungle, Tanja becomes a key member of the organization and is eventually assigned as part of the FARC delegation to peace negotiations that lead to the end of the longest civil war in Latin America's history. But now her reunion with her family is held up by an Interpol arrest warrant.
