"Focuses on the Jewish community of Iquitos, an isolated Peruvian city in the Amazon jungle of South America. Jewish men first came to Iquitos during the rubber boom in the late 19th century, married Amazonian women and raised families, while creating their own syncretic Jewish tradition. The camera recreates this story through the life experience of various Jewish 'mestizos' from Iquitos, descendants of those Jewish immigrants, searching together with these 'mestizos' for vestiges of Jewish presence in Amazonia and accompanying them on their return to Israel" -- Container.
