Looking for a Donkey

In 2018, two firefighters from the Venezuelan Andes published in social media a video of a donkey as if it were the president of Venezuela visiting their rundown facilities. That same day, they were taken to prison.
The people from Apartaderos are afraid of talking about the case. People at the time whispered that the donkey was also detained that day, but nobody seems to know what happened to him. In a dive through this small town in the mountain, the search for the donkey begins; the only one who perhaps managed to get out unhurt of this bad joke.
