Documentar despre străvechile legende şi culturi din pădurile Amazonului – Iwianch este un demon care ia forma unui cerb antropomorfizat – construit pe situaţia reală a recrutării unui şaman pentru găsirea unui copil localnic dispărut în junglă. Simultan cu tragedia urmărită în real time, filmul este un ‘trip’ aproape de Psychedelia şi Horror prin observarea ritualurilor şamanice bazate pe credinţa existenţei unor portaluri spre lumea morţilor.
EN: An amazonian documentary
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 trance, reveals that the young man was taken by the devil, but that he has intervened by showing him the way back to his home. While waiting for his return, secrets of the rainforest and Amazonian visions of life after death are explored, vanishing the documentary filmmaker’s concepts of reality.
