    • In a forgotten town on the Ecuadorian coast, Edmundo, a weaver of fine
      “Panamá” hats receives a valuable order at the same time that he discovers that he suffers from a terminal illness, despite this he promises to deliver the hat in six months. The old craftsman asks his young son José for help without revealing his condition, but he refuses to continue with the family trade and flees with his girlfriend to the capital in search of a new future. But this is not what it seems and the legacy of his father will seize him. As time runs out, Edmundo weaves his last hat and the twilight of his life.
