Peru
In the Peruvian Amazon, Pishak, a young Awajún spiritually connected to birds, survives a violent, oil-driven forced removal that kills his father. Fleeing to Lima, he carries guilt and a mission tied to an ancestral pact: to restore balance between humans and nature. Moving through memory, persecution and displacement, his path leads to a final act that blurs the boundary between myth and reality.
