The Pan-American Highway is a road that connects two continents and twelve countries. Along the 15,000 km of the historic original route between Laredo (Mexico) and Buenos Aires (Argentina), you encounter people with their destinies, destinies, life goals, and hopes. Like a needle, the longest road in the world pierces from north to south. This stirring, contrasting, and informative documentary shows intimate and moving moments—completely authentic, natural, close, and touching. It takes the viewer on a journey through different cultures, where one's own existence often depends on just a few cents. The film illustrates the mindset of the Latin American population, who can often sum up the unvarnished reality in a single sentence. It shows neither staged scenes nor does it chase after tourist attractions.
