In the 19th century, in Amapá, a territory disputed by Brazil and France, prospector Joaquim is forced by Lunier, a French explorer, to reveal the secret of a potential gold mine. Imprisoned and threatened, Joaquim must use his cunning and knowledge of the forest to escape the enemy's clutches.
Certain moments seem to stretch time differently, lingering in our minds longer than others do. They can be a positive memory, of a peaceful afternoon on the beach, or a negative one, like the helplessness that comes with a moment of uncertainty.
