In the documentary we see how different actors of the Colombian society (actors, dancers, plastic artists, writers, anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, philosophers, teachers and students) look for a personal transmutation starting by collective experimental exercises  with the body, such as the first territory of the individual and the memory of a J.Doe, along with the dance master Ko Murobushi while creating a social fabric of active, dynamic and proactive people in the reconstruction of their own human dignity. This journey introduces the neophyte in the history of Butoh, its technique and philosophy. It makes us reflect why Butoh in Colombia. The documentary shows the process and development of the escenic lab and the interventions on a public space made by the participants from different universities and public libraries in Bogotá. Also, it collects some opinions of the participants and general public.
