How did a boy from a backward town on the Caribbean coast become a writer who won the hearts of millions and whose works changed our perception of reality? The answer is the incredible story of Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of the critically-acclaimed masterpiece “100 Years of Solitude”, who grew up in the poverty and violence of northern Colombia.

This film is a story about the incredible power of human imagination, following the interwoven threads of Gabriel García Márquez’s life and work – “Gabo” to all of Latin America – with the narrative tension of an investigation.
