Mburucuyá: Portraits of Nature

Posthumous film by Jorge Acha, whose narrative axis focuses on the journey undertaken by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimée Bonpland along with three indigenous people in the Orinoco basin and which will be told in the book by the German botanist entitled Viaje a los equinocciales del Ecuador. The male body is seen as a locus onto which social aggression is reflected and accumulated.Bodies that are virile and youthful yet tragically powerless.
