Synopsis

December 1988. Composer Daniel Ledezma gets the chance to stage the jazz opera of his dreams, but to finish it he needs Marden, his best friend and collaborator, a musician of the Guna people. When he tries to call him, the number no longer exists: Marden disappeared almost a year ago. With Lucía, Marden's sixteen-year-old niece, Daniel travels across Panama under Noriega's dictatorship, following a trail of letters and cassettes wrapped in Guna legends.
