Media in this event
In 1953, a young couple from Ludwigshafen travels to Tunja in the Colombian Andes, carrying great hopes. More than seventy years later, the narrator retraces their journey through letters, photographs, and fragments of memory—a path through family history, migration, and female self-assertion.
