“In the surroundings of the village of Puerto Nariño, a gaze wanders between the arms of the Amazon River and the depths of the forest. In the murky waters, the film begins. An electric celebration bursts forth, a boat drifts at dawn, a camp is set up. Children dive at nightfall, storms streak across the sky. The cyclical rhythm of this world unfolds through long takes in which human and natural presences merge into a single vibration.”
