Guyane

20-year-old geology student Vincent Ogier begrudgingly leaves his Parisian college to do an internship in Guyana with the Cayenor gold-mining company.

To convince his school he needs to stay in Guyana, Vincent puts forward a new official plan: “Helping Guyana's indigenous peoples cultivate acai berries"

Vincent, Serra, Louis and the gold miners arrive at the camp. The prospectors doggedly dig through the mud, but only find a smattering of gold nuggets.

In the hot, humid depths of the Guyanese forest, gold finally begins to pour out. Guilt -ridden over the accident, Vincent works like a madman.

After an armed battle, two young Brazilians named Tomasinho and Carmen take control of the camp. A terrorized Vincent does his best to save his skin.

Serra takes back the mining camp; Vincent leads Serra to his discovery; Natalie becomes more involved with the Belacai cooperative.
