Amazon shaman Karamat is the last of the Mohicans of his people. Only he knows the secret Yakruny - a plant that is a remedy for all human disease. This objective exploration of two white scientists, the shaman accompanied for 40 years. Their journey is slowly turning into a full secrets trip to the heart of darkness. Both trek, during which the shaman leads researchers by Amazonia, intersect repeatedly, creating a sense of timelessness place where they are held. Scientists realize that the logic that they go, is useless in a world of myths and rituals realniejszych of science. Along the way, many waiting for them from cannibalism after degenerated cults grew out of Catholicism. The film shows both the phantasmagoric journey into the depths of the Amazon, as well as himself. We are watching the World intuition, in which case, madness and magic play equal roles. Associations with "Apocalypse Now," Coppola or its prototype, "Heart of Darkness' Conrad are not coincidental. Black-and-white film is based on the logs travel through the Colombian Amazon, written by a German Theodor Koch-Grunberg and American Richard Evans Schultasa.
