Synopsis
Since our origins, humans have found knowledge, medicine and life in nature. This is something Amerindian peoples continue to feel in their stories and in the plants they use every day to remember them. In the Shadow of Cumare is a farewell conversation between Daniel, the author, and Aniceto and Aurelia, his indigenous grandparents, who died while guiding their family in the midst of a struggle to find a cure for COVID-19. It is an auto-ethnographic journey crossed through by the death of a loved one, a journey of reflection and audiovisual exploration into the daily life of a family in the middle of the Colombian Amazon jungle; it is the director’s search to receive and transmit, through the lens of a camera, the last words he heard from the elders who woke his grandchildren up from death; it is an audiovisual dance that finds joy in the midst of a tragedy.
