For five days, a solar storm hits Central America. In each of these countries, its inhabitants will have to face life in its most basic terms, finding themselves disconnected from the technological comforts on which we currently depend. Fear, friendship and love explode under the shelter of the reunion with others, while the skies are illuminated by a colorful and never seen before tropical aurora.[1]
