There he sits proudly on his beautiful motorbike which he would never loan to anyone. He is certain that he alone can explore the jungle. A playful re-enactment with reversed roles that takes aim at the hubris of the colonial conquerors.

“Each one is responsible for his own beauty. Being ugly is an insult to other people.”
Unnamed woman in The Collectioneusse
00:01:28.041 --> 00:01:30.833
During the first exploration brigade
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Hernan Callejas had already said
00:01:33.208 --> 00:01:35.166
that the one getting into the jungle was him
00:01:35.583 --> 00:01:36.791
and no one else.
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:11.000
Motorcyclist's happiness won't fit into his suit
00:02:47.625 --> 00:02:50.416
That the one getting into the jungle was him
and no one else
00:02:50.791 --> 00:02:53.000
the conqueror insisted.
00:02:54.208 --> 00:02:56.583
It was also him, and no one else
00:02:56.791 --> 00:02:59.208
the one who in the jungle shortly after
00:03:00.208 --> 00:03:02.416
disappeared.
00:03:02.625 --> 00:03:04.208
Do you think he will lend it to me?
00:03:04.625 --> 00:03:06.791
No. I don't think he will lend it to you.
00:03:10.791 --> 00:03:13.166
The one thing one should never lend
is one's motorcycle.
00:03:15.416 --> 00:03:17.791
To each one his own motorcycle.
00:03:56.625 --> 00:03:58.625
A brigade of men accompany him
00:03:58.833 --> 00:04:02.375
moving through the brush weeds and scaring indians.
00:04:06.041 --> 00:04:08.208
The metal helmets of the soldiers
00:04:08.416 --> 00:04:10.000
shine like angry gods
00:04:10.208 --> 00:04:12.208
among the vegetation of the jungle.
00:04:19.416 --> 00:04:20.166
What then? Can I borrow it?
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:23.583
No way.
00:04:24.208 --> 00:04:25.583
Come on, let me borrow it.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.000
Lend it to me.
00:04:36.416 --> 00:04:37.583
Lend it to me!
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.791
Why won't you lend him the motorcycle?!
00:06:17.416 --> 00:06:20.625
The New World was fullof unexpected objects
00:06:20.791 --> 00:06:22.208
unreasonable plants,
00:06:22.416 --> 00:06:24.000
drunk animals,
00:06:24.208 --> 00:06:26.166
unknown prayers.
00:06:34.416 --> 00:06:36.791
He dressed them all in his own suit
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.583
and understood that he had discovered this world
00:06:39.791 --> 00:06:42.583
not because no one had seen it before him
00:06:42.791 --> 00:06:44.791
but because those who had
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.416
had not understood what was it for.
00:08:50.625 --> 00:08:52.791
The amazement and the vanity of the conqueror
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.166
were merged into a single thing.
00:09:11.791 --> 00:09:14.000
And now that he was beautiful at last
00:09:14.375 --> 00:09:16.583
the World and its meaning
00:09:16.791 --> 00:09:18.958
could be the same thing once again.
