How it feels

Four villagers in a small Peruvian town plan a festival for the local patron saint, hoping to end the grief from the disappearances of their relatives. They face difficulties organizing the event, which includes a symbolic burial for the missing. After one of them has a bad accident, they worry the saint is rejecting their efforts.
