Three women manage to escape a dangerous war situation in different places in the jungle. La Mona stabs her sleeping boyfriend, a brutal paramilitary commander and flees. Rocío, also has to leave her place of residence, as it is surrounded by paramilitary troops. Nelsa is one of the paramilitaries, but she turns her back on them after being forced to bury the dismembered bodies of executed farmers. Rocío is attacked by soldiers in a bus deep in the rainforest, while La Mona struggles through a river. Meanwhile, Nelsa continues her journey in a pick-up truck with the man who helped her desert. On their way to Bogotá, all three women come across other displaced persons - the desplazados - as well as demonstrators carrying photos of their lost loved ones.
