Mato Grosso

Here's a film that asks: What if Sean Connery was in *Aguirre, the Wrath of God*, but nice? A pharmaceutical researcher based in the Amazon rainforest needs to synthesize a cure for cancer, with the help of a biochemist sent to assist. It's just as well the lead actors are charming, because you'll be spending a lot of time looking at them.
