Synopsis: Christopher Clark, an eco-warrior, has established his unique Outpost of Progress in the heart of the Amazon rainforest — a utopian society based on the perfect balance between nature and technology, run and safeguarded by the forest’s dwellers. Unfortunately, the situation is getting worse every year, and a new wildfire now threatens to destroy the Outpost.

To urge the Brazilian government to create a protective reserve, Chris decides to take a bold gamble. After all, in the mind of a dreamer, the realm of possibilities knows no bounds.
