Since childhood, the narrator has dreamed of the adventurous lives of two of his ancestors. He wants to understand what drove them to live more that 20 years each in South America. He describes the extraordinary destiny of his great-grandfather, son of a Catalan peasant, who left in 1910 to colonize 1,250,000 hectares of rubber, and his grandfather who was swept along by this passion for adventure. The author/descendant/narrator takes the audience from the Pacific Coast over the Andes through Ecuador to Iquitos, Manaus, Belem and finally to the Atlantic Coast. He uncovers many eventful episodes involving fantastic contracts, head-shrinking Indians, 5,000 kilometers of Amazon, an expulsion by the army, various railway routes, ministerial antechambers and the funding of an Alliance Française.
