Jorge and Roberta have been separated for several years. They simply come from opposite worlds. He likes an uncomplicated life in the jungle, while she prefers a more urban existence. He is Mexican and she is Italian, and she has decided to return to Rome with their five-year-old son, Natan. But before they leave, Jorge wishes to take young Natan on a trip, hoping to teach him about his Mayan origins in Mexico. As father and son spend more time together, Natan begins a learning experience that will remain with him forever. “Alamar was inspired by the simplicity of happiness.” – Pedro González-Rubio
