It centers on five siblings of the privileged, well-connected Barrios family, all deeply committed to the revolution and working for it in various capacities, often at considerable risk to themselves. The Barrios Family 25 Years Later, a group of 20 short films made in 2009-10, long after the historical opportunity for large-scale social transformation in Nicaragua had passed, carries forward the story of the Barrios family and their country, tracing their multi-generational struggle to find ways to live and work according to the ideals that inspired their youth.
