Karamakate was a powerful shaman of the Amazon. The years in solitude have made him «Chullachaqui», a man’s shell deprived of emotions and memories. His life overturns the day Evan arrives, an American ethnobotanical in search of the Yakruna, a powerful hidden plant, capable of teaching to dream. Together they embark on a journey to the heart of the jungle in which the past, present and future are confused, and in which the shaman will recover his lost memories.
