    Vicente (Perugorria) and Abigail (Escribano) run a small banana plantation on Costa Rica's beautiful Caribbean coastline. An oil company wants to build oil platforms off the coast near their plantation. The platforms will bring in a lucrative new source of money but endangers the tourism, agriculture and fishing that drive the local economy.

    Should Vicente and Abigail try to preserve their idyllic home or sell out for a fast buck? That's the Faustian bargain they are struggling with when Abigail's seductive half sister arrives to stir the pot just a little bit more.

    Based on a book by Costa Rican literary legend Carlos Salazar Herrera, Caribe was the first Costa Rican film ever to be submitted to the Academy Awards.
