Safeguarding a precious cultural heritage in a land threatened by ecosystem destruction and globalisation. Ricky is a boy who lives with his family deep in the Peruvian Amazon Forest. Even here, the children’s favorite pastime is watching videos on their mobile phones. One day, Ricky is faced with the task of overcoming his fears and going hunting for a huge catfish that can only be caught by hook. This is where his journey to adulthood begins.
