Synopsis
Christopher, an American musician, is preparing for the arrival of his mother, who will travel to Bolivia for the first time to visit him at his eco-sustainable farm and ecological hotel in the jungle. Ginger's Paradise is an alternative-living project that Christopher has built together with his partner Sol, a talented Bolivian woman with extensive knowledge of sustainability. However, life in nature can give rise to unexpected conflicts: apparently, every paradise harbors a little hell, and this sanctuary in the Bolivian jungle will be no exception.
