Synopsis
Cebaldo, an indigenous dule from Panama is a fishermen's assistant in a town of northern Portugal, who suffers from nostalgia. In his loneliness, memories take him away from his daily routine, and immerse him in a journey back to his village in Guna Yala, where a botanical doctor confronts him with the impossibility of returning to the past.
