An American environmentalist, after the decisions of the US government to continue with policies that will increase global warming, decides to self-inmolate to send a message, inspired by a Buddhist monk uprooted from his homeland years ago, for opposing both sides in the Vietnam War\u2026 these seemingly unconnected but internally dependent events on one another are broadcasted in Ecuador via Youtube under the gaze of the documentary filmmaker, who, when he leaves the screen, meets his 3-year-old son who marvels at the flowers growing in the garden. In this crossing of realities, a reflection on childhood and its innocence in a world threatened by human cruelty and climate change is interwoven.
