Synopsis:

In Waorani territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon, ancient trees are felled as the first road cuts into the forest. Two grandmothers envision opposing futures: Nancy yearns for the privileges of life beyond the forest, Huanginkamu strives to protect her ancestral territory. As the filmmaker questions what her presence sets in motion, the three women co-imagine together a world rooted in care rather than power.
