Feature, Documentary, 2018, 75 min.
In the Amazon of Peru there was a time where existed a matriarchy. According to the Amazonian worldview, the goddess Nantu, the moon, taught women agriculture. The man and the woman lived in harmony until the threat of expansion of the Moche, pre-Inca culture of the north coast of Peru, made man become a warrior. From then on, man eliminates matriarchy and begins, among other activities related to power, to practice polygamy; since then, the woman tried to change the man through different mechanisms including poisoning. The documentary seeks to understand the phenomenon of poisoning from within the community itself, discovering a mythical world and valuable ancestral customs such as the Canto Anen.
