Synopsis:
Rember is an artist from the Uitoto Amazonian nation whose artwork is inspired by the stories his grandmother Martha used to tell him. Rember hasn’t been able to portray the darkest part of his ancestors’ lives: the genocide of the Uitoto people during the rubber boom period. Grandmother Martha, a survivor of those times, encourages Rember during his dreams to travel to La Chorrera, his clan’s original land, where he confronts the past and understands why their stories cannot be forgotten.
