In the early 20th century, a military patrol embarks on a journey that unveils the rich tapestry of indigenous culture. As they conduct a census of the native population, they encounter an elderly figure whose stories and experiences reflect a way of life that is rapidly fading away. The narrative masterfully intertwines history and personal tales, shedding light on the struggles and resilience of the indigenous people in a time of encroaching modernity.
Hugo Pratt's evocative art complements Milo Manara's storytelling, creating a visual and emotional journey that captures the essence of the region's spirit. Through vivid illustrations and compelling dialogue, readers are drawn into a world where tradition meets change, exploring themes of identity, heritage, and the inevitable passage of time. Together, they craft a poignant reflection on the past and its enduring impact on the present.
