The work features a possible journey of an Western explorer through the Amazon forest. Exploring the woods, the traveler eventually encounters native inhabitants. The facts are narrated in voice-over from two points of view—the European’s and the natives’. The title refers to the book from the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859), which describes his explorations in South America. His studies contributed for many fields of modern science by creating an artistic-scientific notion of landscape, in which the natural data can be organized by the observer’s reason. In La Physique Générale, this concept is opposed to the Amerindian cosmology.
