An enigmatic presence haunts the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where an indigenous Achuar teenager has disappeared. During the search for the young man, his family decides to consult with a shaman, who, immersed in a trance, reveals that the young man was taken by the devil, but that he has intervened, showing him the way back home. While awaiting his return, they encounter secrets of the dreamlike jungle and Amazonian visions of life after death, which shatter the documentary filmmaker's concepts of reality.
