In 1975, acclaimed French documentary filmmaker Pierre Dominique Gaisseau journeyed to Panama to film the indigenous Kuna people who lived on islands. He and his family spent a year with the Kuna, earning their trust and documenting their most sacred rituals. Gaisseau promised to share the film with the community, but he never did. Now, fifty years later, the Kuna people still await the discovery of "their" film – a story passed down through generations. When a hidden copy is found in Paris, Swiss-Panamanian filmmaker Andrés Peyrot gently unearths this compelling tale, capturing a profound sense of culture and place. The film serves as both a thoughtful exploration of documentary filmmaking and a powerful reminder of the importance of representation.
