Synopsis
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.
Sinopsis
Iz sjena gumarske ekspanzije, zaboravljene priče o Omarinu i Aredomiju oživljavaju u senzornom putovanju koje prepliće osobnu priču režisera s arhivima Amazone s početka 20. stoljeća. Film je kinematografski ritual koji propituje granice istraživanja i spekulacije, osvrćući se na moć, sjećanje, reparacije i duhovni dijalog između živih i mrtvih.
