About the film
A long conversation between two friends from the past who meet coincidentally in a foreign city to find out how much they have changed and all that they share. One is a banker and the other a guerrilla member and both are trapped in their activities. Panamá City in the eighties, both a tax haven and a place of political asylum, is the backdrop of this story about friendship and false identities that takes place during 24 hours.
