- 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.
