Surrendering to the air means floating. It means unlimited movement, and this is precisely what director Antonio Jose Guzman does in his project The Day We Surrender to the Air. Guzman got his DNA analyzed in the United States and discovered that he is of African, Central and North American, and European lineage. His genetic identity is based on the Diasporas of his forefathers. So how did his parents end up in Panama? Starting with Guzman's own DNA, his "atom," as he calls it, the film opens a window on the world.
