A story about the encounter with indigenous peoples in Brazil, an imaginary exchange of letters between three narrators: the director, whose father documented the Xingu Indians, and two little-known names in Brazilian indigenous movement: the French anarchist Paul Berthelot, who ventured through the valley of the Araguaia River, in central Brazil in the first decade of the 20th century, to investigate whether Brazilian indigenous societies could be considered anarchists, and Buell Quain, an American anthropologist who committed suicide in unexplained circumstances between the Indians Krahô in Maranhão in 1939.
