The ghost of a photo-journalist killed during the December 1989 US invasion of Panama returns exactly 10 years later to resolve his family’s conflicts. Inspired by the story of his own family, in his feature-length debut, Enrique Costas Ríos poetically blends together archival footage and fictional scenes that recreate events from the invasion while tracing links to the true-life story of Spanish journalist Juantxu Rodriguez who was killed during the invasion.

The debate within a family from the Panamanian elite on a referendum for expanding the Panama Channel is illustrated through a poetic journey along a river, a coastline and an inter-oceanic channel. On this journey, the documentary inquires as to whether our understanding of development is at the service of man or if, on the contrary, man is used for the benefit of variables stemming from the notion of development.
