Alborada tells the story of Suchitoto, a bucolic village in El Salvador, Central America, where Josefa, a former guerilla leader and mother of the filmmaker, finds the cure to her war wounds. With the gift of a storyteller, Paula Heredia uses the 8MM App to paint a story which embraces her mother's past and her village present and gives her characters a chance to reconcile, opening the possibilities for friendship, tolerance and the hopes for the habitants of the village.
