Synopsis

Camilo is the adopted son of an indigenous couple of the Quillasinga tribe from the Cocha Lagoon in Colombia. He is the only black person in his community and has always felt different. For years he has been wondering who his biological parents are. The indigenous governor gives him Ayahuasca, a sacred remedy for spiritual guidance. During this transcendent experience Camilo has visions of his biological mother. Supported by his adoptive father, Camilo embarks on a journey to find his origins. With the truth revealed, Camilo manages to find his identity and understand himself as a son of two races.
