Country: Germany
Year: 1994

Tangier, Morocco. The friendship between two young men - one smokes marijuana and the other drinks - is destroyed by their love for the same unknown beautiful girl. A couple are spending their honeymoon on a cruise down the Amazon. The more they are engulfed by the ominous world of the jungle the more impossible it becomes to save their strained relationship. A small boy, a loner, grows up in a village on the edge of the Sahara desert. He can't understand why everyone is against him. When at last he makes friends with a poisonous snake, something incredible happens. Based on stories by the American writer Paul Bowles, who also appears in the film.
