In his daydreams, Carlo often sees his old friend Bunjima, a warrior and guardian of the Dreamtime, who taught him to perceive and interpret invisible connections. The Elder serves as a bridge between Indigenous knowledge and Carlo’s journey through the shadowed world of his own demons: the accusatory voices of his family, the detours of countless fleeting temptations, and his deep aversion to imposed dogmas.

It is the various encounters along the path that teach him to see things in a different light. He meets genuine, as well as self-proclaimed shamans, each interpreting the meaning of the world according to their own rules. But he also meets a priest who shows him that faith can be more than an institution. He crosses paths with both the rich and the poor, each of them illustrating the many ways personal fulfillment can be attained.

Reflections on a life of fractures and unfulfilled desires intertwine with the present. Carlo entrusts Tasko with fears and thoughts he would never burden anyone else with. And while his self-imposed solitude forces him to confront what haunts him, his faithful friend points out missteps along the way. Tasko shows him that it is possible to find peace without losing everything, and ultimately reveals where their true home lies.
