Plot – Allie Fox doesn't bear America's consumerism and its moral and ecological degradation anymore. He's a skilled worker with the ambition to become an inventor, so he embarks on a merchant with his wife and their four children to travel to the Coast of Mosquitos, between Panama and Guatemala, to seek a free and uncontaminated environment. When they reach the place, the man buys an abandoned village and helped by his wife, the eldest son and some willing indigenous, Fox completely transforms it. However his recklessness drives him to desire a huge ice machine, in the illusion of bringing relief to the natives who live in that tropical heat.
