Karl Dieter Gartelmann, a German photographer and filmmaker, arrived in Ecuador in the 1970s, at the height of the oil boom, armed with an old 16mm Bolex camera, and began a journey through the Ecuadorian jungle, collecting visual evidence of a life on the way out along rivers and forests. This documentary brings together the director's lifelong concerns: culture and nature squandered by extractivism. A conversation between two directors about the creation of memory through film.
