Emir suffers an uncontrollable jealousy and will use their religious differences to set them apart. Short of reaching their final destination, Emir is seriously wounded in a gun accident during a confratation with Omar. Emilie’s only option is to descend in an indigenous village in the middle of the jungle to find a healer to save him. When her brother recovers, they head to Manaus where Emilie makes a decision that will lead to tragic consequences.
