In Macas, in the Eastern part of Ecuador, Fundación Chankuap works as an important mediator between the international members of the foundation and the indigenous communities that live in the forests on the border with Perù. The relationships between the inside and the outside of the forest are regulated with a great precision: every intervention must be carefully planned so that the delicate ecological equilibriums are not altered.The film tells about some meetings between the members of Fundación Chankuap and the communities: they speak about development, but "development" is a word that not everybody interprets in the same way.
