Synopsis
Karamakate is a warrior shaman and the last of his tribe who lives alone in the Colombian Amazon. Only he knows how to find the Yakruna—a rare, psychedelic plant. Two scientists—at two different times, with very different agendas—enlist Karamakate on their quests to find this mythical plant.
Editorial
From filmmaker duo Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego: a hugely-acclaimed, black-and-white travelogue and sometimes-psychedelic drama that journeys into Colombia’s Amazonia region. A thoroughly gripping thriller, and no doubt one of the most significant contributions to contemporary Colombian cinema.
