A wall of fear separates the Forbidden Forest from the rest of the Amazon jungle. Tribesmen say a mysterious Bird Girl wields strange magic there and death awaits outsiders who invade her realm. But fear and rumors cannot stop a desperate political exile named Abel, drawn there by the lure of gold and by an ominous mission: kill the Bird Girl. (official distributor synopsis)
