The film guides the audience to the Amazon following a girl named 'Nina.' Amazon's Sarayaku area belongs to Nina's 'Kichwa Tribe' and the wildlife for generations. This is a place where Spider Monkeys, leafcutter Ants and many species only seen in the zoo exuberantly lives in harmony.

The Kichwa tribe senses that the human body, soul, wildlife, plants, the forest and the river are all connected in a tight circle of life. There is no arrogant dichotomy dividing 'human vs. nature' or 'human vs. animal' amongst them. Like all old tribes they have gained wisdom. Protecting the jungle is the way to protect the people. Also land where no plants and animal can survive is also uninhabitable for mankind. Foreign oil companies fringed this land with greed. They are getting the aid of the Ecuadorian government. Watching the film brings a strong sense of deja vu. Corporate intrudes and the inhabitants scream "Respect our land and get out!" They shout "You should respect the fact that this is our land. Get out of here!" and government uses force to subdue the inhabitants. We have seen this defending peace and one's hometown many times. Conflicts regarding transmission cable towers and nuclear power plant in Miryang, Cheongdo, Samcheok, Yeonggwang County, and Go-ri city are all too familiar. Therefore this is not just a story of Ecuador, but the story of all indigenous people, and the story of protecting mother earth. I googled for Sarayaku news and got many hits about Nina from this film. Oil companies are still greedy, and the inhabitants are still struggling to protect their native forests and village.
