La Redención is a Paraguayan road movie and historical drama partially set in the Chaco War. This is the second film of director Hérib Godoy after Latas Vacías (2014).

Plot[]

Using a nonlinear narrative, the film depicts the 1991 meeting between José Villalba, a terminally ill Chaco War veteran and the young Marlene, the granddaughter of a former brother-in-arms. They undertake a journey in search of the whereabouts of Marlene's grandfather through different villages and locations across the Paraguayan countryside. Intermingled with flashbacks of a young Villalba and his companions in the trenchs of Nanawa in July 1933, Marlene and José uncover long-time forgotten stories and unearth the past to eventually come to terms with their own lives.
