Here's a synopsis for A Werewolf in the Amazon from One Eyed Films' website: "Natasha is a 20-year-old woman who, together with four friends, decides to enter the Amazon forest to partake in a Saint Daime ceremony in one of the local villages.
To guide them through the forest they hire the experienced Beto Careca. However, he's not the one who turns up to get them, but Jean Pierre, a strange man who says he is Beto's friend. They are not all convinced, but they all end up accepting his explanation.
When night falls the group decides to set up camp in a place called Hell's Opening. There they try the Saint Daime tea made by the guide himself and have a life changing experience. Not everything is really a hallucination and not everyone will get out alive."
