A Secret in the Box is a documentary that explores the life of Ecuadorian writer Marcelo Chiriboga, a mythical figure of the Latin American boom, the literary phenomenon of the 1960s. Through interviews, visits to different cities, archival material and the writer's most important book, La Línea Imaginaria, a puzzle is woven that blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction. The figure of Chiriboga ends up being an excuse to explore, from the point of view of humour and irony, several themes that are related to Ecuador's identity as a country: its warlike past, indifference towards local literature, the complexes and conflicts of national ideology, exile and literature.
