Institute History
Description
This is the moving story of two old people, Maria Eugenia Vargas (seventy-one) and Carlos Valderrama (seventy-five), survivors of the avalanche from the Ruiz Volcano. They used to live on the banks of the Guali River and lost all their possessions there. After the tragedy, they were taken to the stadium in Honda and housed in tents with other families from the totally destroyed town of Armero.
Since the tragedy in November, 1985, they have been coping with another way of life.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
