[edit] Synopsis
A professional photographer, Daniel, brings home an antique trunk for his wife. He discovers a false bottom in the trunk that conceals a Kodak Brownie 100 camera. Upon developing the photos, he discovers that they are of a 1913 National Geographic expedition to the Amazon. He decides to donate the photos to the local university. At the university, he meets Professor Stottel who was on the expedition. He tells Daniel that there could be no photos because the Kurucai Indian tribe they met in the Amazon felt that making any image of them was to steal their souls. The Kurucai had smashed the camera and stalked the expedition along with abducting the photographer. Professor Stottel looks at the pictures and confirms they're genuine. However, the Kurucai who should be in the photos are missing. Daniel returns home to find the missing Kurucai inside his home. Daniel and his wife use their cameras to recapture the Kurucai on film.
