On the triple border between Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, the twin towns of Letícia and Tabatinga form an urban island surrounded by the Amazon forest. Located somewhere between documentary, ethnographic film, and essay, LANDS is a meditation on the concept of frontiers, following the constant coming and going of people along the border and slowly revealing the presence and influence of it on their daily lives.
