La selva bajo mi piel

Libertad Arregui is a young reporter sent to El Salvador in the late eighties. Through his television chronicles together with his camera partner Íñigo Santolaya, we witness the most relevant events that took place in that forgotten war in Central America: the murder of Ignacio Ellacuría, the Sumpul River massacre, the Colomoncagua refugee camps or the first exhumations. "La selva bajo mi piel" is also the journey of a son who wants to find her origins, thanks to a manuscript delivered by her mother before she died and the letters between her and a German aid worker who was a guerrilla collaborator. Salvadoran. It is inevitable to be moved by this narrative in which three voices converge: that of a woman and her vicissitudes in loving outside the established norms, being herself, in turn, a threatened correspondent in the "years of lead" of the Basque conflict; that of a lover who has not wanted to give up the affection of a brave fighter; that of a son who tries to assimilate the loss, while reconstructing the history of his family.
