Two former guerrillas confront peace, memory, and an uncertain future

Set against the backdrop of more than 50 years of war, The Fog of Peace follows two guerrilla fighters whose lives intersect with one of the most significant moments in recent Colombian history. In the mountains of Colombia, Teo records the painful memories of his fellow guerrilleros in the rebel camps, preserving testimonies shaped by conflict, loss, and survival. At the same time, Boris, a cameraman for the FARC, films behind the scenes of the peace negotiations in Havana between FARC leaders and the Colombian government.

By moving between the forest and the negotiation table, the documentary offers two distinct perspectives on the peace process and its promises. The signing of the peace treaty marks a historic turning point, but it does not resolve the uncertainty surrounding those who must now rebuild their lives outside the armed struggle. As Teo and Boris try to reintegrate into civilian life, they come together in search of a hidden cache of memories in the mountains. What they are looking for carries symbolic and emotional weight, raising questions about whether memory will feed reconciliation or reopen the wounds of war.
