A moving family and mystical journey into the Amazon rainforest. Born to a Dutch mother and Surinamese father he doesn't know, Raoul is barely thirty when he receives an email: **I AM LOOKING FOR MY SON RAOUL DE JONG ☺☺☺. ** From this late meeting with his father about his Surinamese ancestry, a mention of a mysterious ancestor who transformed himself into a jaguar, catches the writers attention. Raoul sets out in search of this enigmatic ancestor through the Surinamese jungle. In this quest for the jaguar, the young writer searches for his own humanity in this true optimistic manifesto.
