The green splendor of the rainforest, on one side, cleared plantations, on the other. The contrasting worlds of the Guarani-Kaiowà and the big landowners, united in a story about stolen habitats and the curse of globalization, are embedded in a plot full of rapprochements and conflicts, exchange and exploitation, struggle and resistance, friendship and betrayal. This gripping drama, cast with Indigenous people, makes the clash of two radically different ways of life a sensory experience.
