Full plot (contains spoilers)
Eliott de Bellabre, a naïve young anthropologist, travels to French Guiana to study the Otopis, a mysterious Amazonian people. It is also an opportunity for him to get away from the hold his possessive mother, Chantal de Bellabre, has over him. But worried about him, she decides to go looking for him, venturing into the strange Amazon rainforest. There, he discovers that the Otopis are not Indigenous people who care for nature and live as people did in the past; they have the internet, engage in illegal gold mining, and take care of nothing. Meanwhile, his mother wants to organize a search for him with the local gendarmes. But they are completely incompetent, and during their search they nearly start a war with Brazil. Mid-credits scene: At his gendarmerie station, Raspaillès congratulates his team for finding Eliott and thus completing their mission successfully.
