A Colombian Family tells the story of Ruby, an idealistic mother who is fighting for the poorest people in Colombia, and her daughter Yira, who lives in exile in Cuba. In the shadow of the first peace treaty in decades, mother and daughter are trying to forgive the letdowns of the past. Can they become a family again? Can one choose between one’s homeland and one’s family, and is love enough in order to reconcile?
