Film Information
Venezuelan expatriate Jonathan plans a trip to Panama City ahead of upcoming spinal surgery. Requiring support to travel, he invites two companions—an actor between gigs and a jaded playboy—to join him. Their journey, financed through donations made to pay for his medical expenses, takes the trio into Panama's wild side, where adventure and escapism collide and a long-simmering resentment starts to surface. Inspired by Jonathan's real-life experiences, this irreverent, high-energy story blends self-discovery and dark comedic mischief.
