Synopsis
A secret in the box is a documentary that invents the life and works of Marcelo Chiriboga (1933-1990), internationally known Ecuadorian writer member of the “boom” generation (Garcia Márquez, Vargas Lllosa, Carlos Fuentes), who remains unknown in his country until today. Through multiple voices and varied archival footage, the film reconstructs the puzzle of Chiriboga´s existence, a mixture of reality and fiction.
