On the Caribbean with the Miskito fishermen, you see a spark in people's eyes. A spark that must be kept quiet to avoid a dynamite explosion, which could blow up an entire village.

However, for Hilario to transport essential dynamite, he faces the daunting task of navigating perilous roads, all under the watchful eye of the police, where the fragile detonators are at constant risk of exploding.
