Synopsis:
For Dauna, life in the Orinoco delta has generated a strong curiosity for what exists beyond the river. Her natural talent for language and learning has always been supported by her family and her father Julio. Tarcisio, her childhood sweetheart, has also patiently supported her, but she does not know how to deal with the social pressure in the Warao community. Dauna is sure of her love for Tarcisio but fears that he will succumb to what tradition dictates, with the possibility of thwarting her ambition for academic development.
