In the heart of the Amazon, a lost Indonesian rubber tire drifts with the river current of the Rio das Mortes. On its final journey downstream, it listens to the secrets shared by the local inhabitants that speak of a fragile ecosystem under threat and of the powerful spirits of the river they call home. Along the way, the drifting tire awakens an ancestral memory that binds it to this turbulent place.
