Synopsis:

 

Bogotá, 1896. José Asunción Silva, essential-radical poet, last of the romantics-first of the modernists, they say; is consumed by the re-writing of his work, almost all lost after being shipwrecked while traveling from Venezuela to Bogotá. José spends his time between work and conversations with Inés, a young woman who helps the poet as a housekeeper, and that has found the world of words and reading through the poet. When he finishes the re-writing process, and after Inés has gone; the poet shoots himself through the heart. After death and guided by his dead youngest sister, the poet will take one last path, in which he will confront the actions and decisions taken in life; until he finally leaves this dimension in which we make our lives.
