Emerging from the shadows of the rubber boom, the forgotten stories of Omarino and Aredomi are recovered in a sensory journey that intertwines the filmmaker's personal story with early 20th-century Amazonian archives. The film is a cinematic ritual that explores the boundaries of research and speculation while reflecting on power, memory, reparations, and the profound dialogue between the living and the dead.
