About the film

In Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, the farming classes lead a wealthy and leisurely existence. Owning vast swaths of agricultural land, covered with GM (genetically modified) crops, they spend their nights entertaining tourists who have come to the area on bird watching holidays.

Meanwhile, the indigenous Guaraní-Kaiowá people live an uneasy existence on the fringes of the farmers land. Treated as another curiosity by the bird watchers they are forced to live on enclosed reserves.

Tensions rise when the leader of a group of Guaraní Indians organizes an attempt to reclaim his tribe's ancestral territory from an unsympathetic farmer.

Duration: 108 min.
