Iwianch, el diablo Venado
Synopsis
An enigmatic presence haunts the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where a teenage Achuar native has disappeared. His family decides to consult a shaman, who, in a trance, reveals that the young man has been taken by the devil, but that he has intervened by showing him the way back. During the search for the young man, the secrets of the forest and Amazonian visions of life after death collide, dispelling the documentarian's notions of reality.
