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.
The particular reality experienced by Panama for almost a century due to the military presence of United States in the former Canal Zone is narrated through unpublished materials and revealing interviews with many of the social and cultural personalities who left their imprints in this story. The life in "the zone", the identity of the "zonians", the events that led to the handover of the military bases and the administration to the Panamanians are part of a plot as complex as the story itself.
How does progress in a city influence the life of its inhabitants? Panama is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America, as reflected primarily in the various construction mega-projects that have been adorning the capital of this small country. Many in this city brag about the pace of development that is taking place, but to what point can we speak of development? The documentary seeks to assess this development in terms of the improvement or worsening it produces in the Panamanians’ quality of life.
The life of General Victoriano Lorenzo, of indigenous descent, guerrilla fighter from the One Thousand Day War, shot by a firing squad of the oligarchy before the birth of Panama as a Republic and the building of the Canal by the North Americans in 1903, is reconstructed through several characters who know his history, life and myth. An indigenous painter, an indigenous chief, a peasant, a violinist, a singer of rhymes and a former guerrilla fighter talk to us about the life of our Transparent Hero, as we delve into their worlds of daily struggle in a country that is proud of its economic growth and gradually seeks to eliminate the memory of its people. These are stories that are weaved to highlight the figure of Victoriano Lorenzo through the imagination that creates time in the self-image of Panamanians amidst memories, versions and contradictions.
