Overall, this is a quiet and beautiful film. The story is so simple that it can be finished in one sentence - archaeological clues were found in the Amazon but no one believed that the protagonist failed to explore many times and finally disappeared in the depths of the jungle.
The way the film is narrated seems to be a story read aloud in a toneless manner. But the story itself is all the more captivating under the quiet reading, simple and thought-provoking, where people get a glimpse of what they need without having to suffer too much from the narrator.
