A snake travels through dreamlike digital landscapes and also through static images of the Amazon rainforest, narrated in a cyclical repetition of a time proposed in the snake's dreams. The film tells a radical fantasy, a possibility of bodily and temporal transmutation from the encounter with the Boitatá snake that feeds on eyes, which, after eating so many of them, turns into living fire. Human beings who look into the snake's eyes are irreversibly transformed.

The Amazon rain forest, 1979. The crew of Fitzcarraldo (1982), a film directed by German director Werner Herzog, soon finds itself with problems related to casting, tribal struggles and accidents, among many other setbacks; but nothing compared to dragging a huge steamboat up a mountain, while Herzog embraces the path of a certain madness to make his vision come true.
