He stays a long time isolated and he has become a person without emotions and memories. But his solitary life changes when he meets Evan, an american scientist who seeks a powerful and unknown plant able to teach to dream. Karamakate decides to collaborate with Evan in his search and together begin a journey through the depths of the jungle. But the journey is much more than that: Karamakate begins to recover his forgotten memories.
