A young Panamanian filmmaker travels to Madrid to meet Julio Zachrisson, a legendary Panamanian surrealist whose work left a mark on him since childhood. What begins as a personal quest gradually becomes an intergenerational dialogue between two artists. Filmed over nearly five years — as Zachrisson copes with the loss of his sight during the final chapter of his life — the two forge an unexpected friendship that changes both of their lives. Featuring never-before-seen interviews and archival footage, this documentary explores memory, identity, and the enduring power of art to connect generations.
