The narration of this film reflects the apparent temporal disorganization that the writer himself employed in certain books, especially "100 Years of Solitude". Structured like a free-flowing conversation with an old friend whom one hasn't seen in ages, and thanks to the interview that "Gabo" himself gave in his home in Cartagena, the film focuses on the realistic elements of the magic the writer uses in his work, not so much to "demystify" their supernatural aspect, even less to "adhere" to it in any way, but more to fully convey his extraordinary vision of the world. The film serves as a bridge between the reality of a continent filled with tales and enchantments, and the life of a man who remains its most unswerving chronicler.
