Colombian novelist and Nobel Laureate, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is portrayed by his family, colleagues and friends through interviews and narration, revealing a shy, everyday man - one who might have been a great vallenato singer and who enjoyed spending time in places like Havana and Mexico City. The film captures the personal side by uncovering details lost in biographical data. Highlights include the testimony of his brother, Jaime Garcia Marquez and writers like Carlos Monsivais and long time friend, Alvaro Mutis.

A visual masterpiece, the documentary is a collage of the great world-renowned Colombian artist, Pedro Manrique Figueroa that traverses the globe and spans momentous periods of time. Taking Figueroa's life and work as a pretext, the documentary takes the viewer on a journey through history over the period from 1934 to 1981, when the artist mysteriously disappeared from view. The film examines the relationship that exists between arts and politics, truth and deception and when fact and fiction intermingle.
