Sinopsis: El Orinoko: personaje principal del filme. La primera parte se sitúa durante la preconquista y está representada como un paraíso terrenal. Un shaman tiene visiones premonitorias: ve a Cristóbal Colón y al misionero católico en 1498. In this allegorical film without dialogue or explanatory remarks, director Diego Risquéz focuses on the Orinoco River and the history that has traveled along its course. The river starts in the highlands at the southeastern border of Venezuela and curves like a giant letter "C" up along the frontier with Colombia, and then across the vast plains towards the northeast, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. As much a part of Venezuelan music and literature as it is the home of several ancient Native American tribes, the Orinoco symbolizes more than just the history of the country. Risquéz moves the camera slowly along the waters of the river, and when he brings it up, Christopher Columbus is seen at the head of an expedition that claims this land for Spain.
