Rember Yahuarcani is an Indigenous painter from the White Heron clan of the Uitoto Nation in Peru, who, like many Indigenous young adults, left his ancestral home to live in the capital. In a creative dry spell, he decides to go back and visit his parents, who are artists themselves. In a breathtaking landscape, let us sojourn to the Amazonian community of Pebas and hear what Yahuarcani is reminded of from his ancestors. Director Núria Frigola Torrent
