In 2018, Guatemala, more than 20 years after the end of the civil war, transitional justice is still being implemented slowly. Every inch of seemingly peaceful land may be buried with unknown remains waiting to be unearthed, and every silent mother's face may hide a painful past that is hard to look back on. The young man in charge of identifying the remains got a clue from an old Mayan woman that in a mass grave in a remote mountain area, his father, whom he had never met, might be buried. Despite the dissuasion of his mother and colleagues, he devoted himself to the search, and his unspeakable life experience will be unexpectedly revealed... There are no hoarse accusations, no twists and turns in the plot. Facing the inflammatory theme of the massacre, "Digging Scars" portrays the courage of the next generation to face the truth, the scars and resilience of the surviving women with precious plainness and simplicity. The power of returning to nature won the SACD Award at the Cannes Film Critics Week and was also recognized by the Golden Camera Award. “We have a strong sense of responsibility to avoid any exaggeration because this is a story that happens to many Guatemalans.” - Cesardia
