This documentary is about the existential, intellectual and literary path of a writer whose work was based on the ideals of his life through which he channeled - with his art - the stories, idiosyncrasies and essence of the Dominican people. 

Juan Bosch, short story writer and essayist, was born in La Vega in 1909. He began to write at a young age. His first story was published in 1923 in Barahona’s “Las Brisas del Birán” magazine under the pseudonym Rigoberto de Fresni. In 1924 a fire destroyed all the short stories he had written since 1921.

With a long and prolific literary career, which spanned eight decades of writing on the most important social and political topics of his country, Bosch clearly established his endless concern for the day-to-day situation experienced by the country’s various social sectors, especially the poorest of them all, whom he christened the “children of Machepa.”
