2023· 108 min★ 5.8·

SIMONA AMAYA, a young woman from Boyacá who is around 20 years old, rebellious and daring, decides to dress as a man to be accepted into the patriotic ranks and thus be able to fight for the liberation cause. She achieves her goal and, upon joining the revolutionary ranks, she meets Antonio Arredondo, a 28-year-old young man, a colonel of the Cazadores battalion, to whom she has been assigned as he, known as SERGEANT AMAYA to everyone. Adopting the male identity forces Simona to hide her female condition as well as her feelings in the face of love insinuations from Colonel Arredondo, so as not to be discovered, which would lead to her immediate discharge from the liberation ranks.
