La Estancia is a house doomed to disappear in a city like Medellín, where memory is treated harshly. It's a journey into a boarding house inhabited by old, lonely men who reveal their lives, loves, desires, and even their view of death. Guillermo and Álvaro, a couple for over 50 years, recall a buried city where homosexuality was silenced. Raúl, Guillermo's current partner, seems trapped in a daily hell of bitterness. Javier, the antithesis, is a mystic who wears a kimono, is Mormon, and works in multi-level marketing. This place holds as many rooms as possible universes, separated by endless stairs, dark corridors, and glowing thresholds. A house, a labyrinth, a family—fractured like any other—where dialogue unfolds in broken conversations, where one's view becomes another's question. A web of silence, conflict, and mystery. A place they never expected to end up in—and from which they may never leave.
