SYNOPSIS
Camilo is the adopted son of an indigenous couple of the Quillasinga tribe from the Cocha lagoon, in the southwest of Colombia. He is the only black person in his community and has always felt different. For years he has been wondering about his biological parents. The indigenous Quillasinga-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 true identity.
