Official synopsis Publisher
Margarita es una antropóloga con cierto reconocimiento por sus publicaciones y sus cátedras. Cuando recibe el meme del hallazgo de unas momias en la Amazonía, Margarita apuesta su reputación en una expedición para comprobar su existencia. Dada las condiciones de humedad en la selva, la preservación es poco probable, pero ella ha estado buscando el eslabón perdido por varias décadas y está resuelta a no dejarlo escapar. La expedición parte para la selva con una pequeña escolta militar, cuatro estudiantes, un fotógrafo italiano y una funcionaria del Ministerio de Cultura. Los expedicionarios, que son un microcosmos de Colombia y los diferentes actores del conflicto, acaban perdiéndose en la selva. Entre la vegetación y el aislamiento todos van sacando a airear las cadenas sociales que los atan.
