Presentation

  • Karamakate, a powerful Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, lives as a recluse in the depths of the jungle. Decades of loneliness turned him into a chullachaqui, a human devoid of memories and emotions. His life is disrupted by the arrival of Evans, an American ethnobotanist looking for the yakruna, a very powerful sacred plant, which can teach people how to dream. Together, they embark on a journey to the heart of the Amazonian forest during which the line between past, present, and future begins to blur.
