A fascinating journey through Ureka, a remote corner of Bioko Island, where traditional life coexists with abundant nature. This documentary explores the customs of its inhabitants, the unique biodiversity of its jungles and beaches, and how time has shaped this hidden gem of Equatorial Guinea. In the Bubi language, Ureka means "distant village," and it is the first inhabited village on Bioko Island. This is the first chapter of a series of reports on ongoing nature conservation. Through four key figures within the community, we will discover the beauty of this natural enclave: its culture, customs, and various ways of life.

The main character is studying in his house in Malabo when, suddenly, the power is cut. He tries to look for a candle, but he falls down because of the darkness. The light comes back and he can start to study again, but this does not last long. The power goes off again, the character tries to fix it, but he has an electric accident. When the light comes back on, he appears with “Rasta” hair and, a few seconds later, the power is cut for the third time.
