SYNOPSIS Lucas is a fisherman. He goes into the native forest on the banks of the Uruguay River and the Negro River to photograph the fishermen's camps and their profession. His goal is to make a photo report of that universe so personal to him, to turn it into a photo book that portrays his reality. While his project grows, Lucas finds himself as an artist, while building his gaze.
