A Place of Absence is a lyrical and profoundly moving documentary that explores unresolved grief, boundless love, and the unbreakable strength of women. Decades after her uncle’s disappearance during Argentina’s Dirty War, a filmmaker joins the Caravan of Mothers, a courageous group of Central American women who travel through Mexico each year in a desperate search for their missing children, lost while trying to reach the U.S. As their stories intertwine across generations and geographies, the film becomes a powerful testament to resilience, memory, and justice.
