Storyline

Donde acaban los caminos (Where the roads end) it's the encounter of two different worlds that live together but remain separated at the same time, since ancestral times. The doctor Raul Zamora goes on a trip from the city to a remote town in the lake Atitlán where this two parallel worlds converge between the "Naturals" and the "Ladinos". Zamora won't take long before falling in love with Maria Xahil, a "Natural", causing in the rest of the town and the villages a dilemma between the different communities. It's a panoramic vision of the abuse of power, repression and racism that collide in this diverse society surrounded by the calm of nature. The adventure of Zamora and Maria will have a turning point marked by the personal interest and conflicts of each separated worlds.
