Daughter of the Volcano is a film that simultaneously speaks of a universal experience: that of the diaspora of adoptees all over the world. People who, driven by hope and the search for answers, never stop chasing the ghosts, literal and symbolic, of their past.

The eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in 1985 resulted in one of Colombia's greatest tragedies. Jenifer de la Rosa was one of the children who survived and was later adopted. At 30, motivated by the possibility that her biological mother was still alive, she decided to investigate her roots.

“The film’s strength lies in its ability to express what is left unsaid through powerful visual imagery. There is also the way the entire world is captured through the eyes of a child. An innocent, beautiful, curious gaze, but also imbued with melancholy and fear.” Júlia Olmo – Cineeuropa
