In the heart of the Andes of Nariño (Colombia), stands the remnants of the once-prosperous textile factory, El Contadero, established in 1943. Now reduced to ruins, it serves as a movingbackdrop to the memories of Estela, an 87-year-old woman who worked in the factory from the time she was 16 years old until its closure. Through her memories we delve into the early years of the factory and life with her co-workers as well as the art of traditional guanga weaving, a practice to which Estela stills dedicates her life. Interwoven with Estela's narrative are glimpses into village life, where nature slowly reclaims the decaying ruins of the factory, and archival photographs from 1992 of the women weavers of the past. As the film unfolds, it confronts the failed promises of modernization and witnesses the gradual disappearance of the last guanga weavers of El Contadero.
