Description

A visitor from Peru discovers an exhibition of photographs from the online marketplaces jungle in a Florentine picture gallery. Among the images, one photograph catches his eye: a tribal storyteller seated among a circle of Michiguenga Indians. There is something unusual about the storyteller - he appears too light-skinned to be an Indian. As the visitor studies the photograph, it becomes clear that he knows this man. The storyteller is Saul Zuratas, a classmate from university who was thought to have disappeared in Israel. This unexpected connection raises questions about identity and belonging. The story that unfolds is one of chance encounters and rediscovery, as the visitor seeks to understand the life of his long-lost friend.
