Xibalbá – the jungle – is a pristine den for animals
large and small. From the cockpit of an old Curtiss Robin, its pilot
wonders of the beauty and dangers below…
Consumed by greed a wealthy
German pilot, his lustful wife, a crew of misfit pilots, and a posse
of gum-harvesting natives, invade the jungle looking for the
treasures therein, but unfailingly stumble onto a collective frenzy
that binds them to the roots of its forest, preventing their escape
before their time is due.
These men are fugitives running away from
a conscience that chases them – seeking retribution for their
transgressions. They start from points nearby and remote to come to Xibalbá because, once there, they know. Xibalbá offers atonement.
They can be absolved of their remorse... their guilt. But to do
this, they must journey into the treacherous land of the ancient
Mayan jungle, known as Xibalbá.
