THE SUNKEN FOREST

The distress of dry land animals

Synopsis

Once a year, while the waters of the Amazon are at their lowest, a deluge of unprecedented violence falls on the forest. Within a few months, it will be drowned under almost 30 meters of water, with only the tops of a few trees poking out.

The survival of forest animals is at stake. Some take refuge in the treetops, others go in search of the last dry lands, while more than a few are stranded by the rising water. As solid ground habitat narrows, that of fish or pink dolphins extends to infinity. All must learn to live in a sunken forest.

This film tells a mesmerizing and unforgettable story replete with competition, anguish, danger, and courage.
