This story takes place in today’s world. A group of people learns how to start a new life after being kept in isolation for thirty years in the middle of the Peruvian jungle. The Asháninka tribe were captivated by a terrorist organization – the Shining Path. Several years ago, the Asháninka women were kidnapped and imprisoned deep in the woods. For many years, they were raped by the terrorists and forced to give birth to future members of the revolutionary army. Five years ago they were rescued. Today, they face freedom and civilisation, tormented by memories. In the Amazonia, the terrorists still hold about three hundred people in captivity, mostly children.
