The film tells two stories thirty years apart, both

featuring Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last

survivor of his tribe. He travels with two scientists, firstly

with the German Theo von Martius in 1909 and then

with an American named Evan in 1940, to look for the

rare yakruna, a sacred plant.

A visual poem with overwhelming images of the Andean

mountains about a spiritual master of the Andean

tradition who emerges in different regions of the

Cordilleras and disappears again, like a ghost who

wants to take one last look at the sacred mountains,

and he converses with the water, the rocks, the men,

and finds out under what disease the human race of the

present suffers.

This hybrid film mixes fiction and documentary to

portray the traditions, values, and customs of Jorge, a

Law student and his family, in the village of San Miguell

Tzinacapan (a Nahua zone), following the death of its

patriarch. As the family prepares to honor the deceased

member, they face an increasingly hard financial and

cultural situation.
