Helena Valero vit aujourd'hui entre deux mondes. A l'âge de douze ans, elle fut enlevée par les indiens Yanomami avec qui elle a vécu pendant vingt-quatre ans sur le bassin de l'Orénoque, avant de réussir à s'évader. A son retour à Manuas, sa famille la rejette parce que ses enfants sont indiens. Etrangère parmi les siens, Helena décide de revenir sur ses pas auprès de ces Indiens qui l'avaient jadis retenue captive.

Helena Valero lives in limbo between two different worlds. At the age of twelve she was abducted by Yanomami Indians, with whom she spent the next 24 years in the Orenoque Bassin in Bresil before escaping. When she returns to her family in Manaus, they reject her because her children are Indians. A foreigner among her own people, Helena decides to go back to the Indians who held her captive. The Yanomami are planning an attack on an enemy tribe. The ceremonial trances organized by the Shaman remind Helena of the way these same men murdered her husband.
