Authorities have prohibited access to a forest on the outskirts of the city. Strange vegetation has infested the area, and those who have been questioned report sightings of rare species, human-sized birds, or figures that appear and disappear. Despite the restrictions, several people decide to visit the place. Once there, they coexist and play without fear of the warnings. Little by little, reality begins to distort, blending with their memories, dreams, and fantasies.
In the dense Colombian jungle, eras jump, genders blur and fluids flow freely.

Worlds Burning Amid the Shadows is a generational embrace born from the encounter between an adult woman and a group of young people.

From my experience as a body in transit, I have inevitably walked towards the abandonment of the species. Because experiments with gender identity and anatomical sex dislocate recognizable with an identifiable genre. The places of production of the human have been framed from border with the animal, legitimizing innumerable exclusions, but on the other hand detonating the possibilities of invention and reconfiguration of the borders in relation to other life forms. Thus, I believe that today alliances are urgent between different militancy so that other winds blow in the world. “Nosotr_s Seremos”, speculate the embryonic state of a new species, where its desire for the dilute of the borders between identity, gender and animality; It springs in the middle of a original broth.
A misty jungle opens the confines of time and space to converge the times of a colonial era, the echoes of an apocalyptic beast and the open-air prayers of a transanimal ritual. An incantation film, composed of three invocations thirsty for rage and faith in the world.
