In 1996, a Brazilian official and a Swedish journalist ventured into the Amazon to document the isolated Korubo tribe caught in escalating land conflicts.

More than a century ago, Flosi Björnsson and his brothers isolated themselves at the foot of Iceland’s largest glacier. None married or had children; they devoted their lives to the glacier before anyone spoke of its melting. Their farm remained sealed until now.

After years of silence about the abortion she experienced as a teenager, Marta receives a hundred anonymous testimonies from women who have gone through the same experience.
