      A bitter alcoholic retreats to the Mexican jungle, where he traps animals to fund his drinking, living in squalor. The Lacodón tribe sees potential in him, dubbing him Wise Owl. When he falls ill, a shaman named Black Ant saves him and inadvertently cures his alcoholism. As he recovers, he discovers a way to communicate with mosquitoes, learning their language, Mosquil. This newfound ability leads him to contemplate harnessing their power, while the narrative critiques ecological disaster and colonial exploitation with dark humor.
