Synopsis
The inspiration comes from Herzog’s quest in his “conquest of the useless,” both his own and that of his character Fitzcarraldo. The documentary Huella allows itself an unpretentious search for what was missing in the majestic landscapes of pure nature. A performance project conceived and developed by Justine Bertignon and Mosi Espinoza, who invited filmmaker Robson Dias to accompany their creative process as it confronts its original source of inspiration: the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.
