SYNOPSIS

 

Ubundu is a love story that unfolded as the environmental effects of climate change in the year 2029 descended on both Dallas, Texas and the Amazon River Basin. It was a love of a civilized man and a tribal woman from the Amazon River Basin. Her name was Celo and he was David. In the beginning, their lives were intertwined by the conflict between the civilized vs the indigenous. Her love for him was stronger than his love of his industry. So, he joined her from a fossil fuel company born out of a world of profit-making, consumption, and arrogance to a world containing strange rituals and beliefs practiced through song, dance, and play. He pursued her from the status of an executive and embraced her life of possession less passion, simplicity, and the enjoyment of the low-hanging fruits of paradise.

It is a story of dark plots, backstabbing, courtroom dramas, and murder in and around the sleepy old and small town of Ubundu in the middle of the Amazon jungle now taken over by a giant oil company.
