Homo Botanicus


The botanist Julio Betancur and his disciple, the young Cristian Castro, return once again to the Colombian tropical forests to explore their passion for nature. Through the lens of director Guillermo Quintero, a former student of Julio, we will embark on a delirious expedition that will help us understand the strength of their friendship and the importance of Julio's legacy. In the diverse and almost infinite world of the tropics, we will get lost with them in the time of the jungle. Homobotanicus asks, what is the purpose of collecting plants forever?
