There are no spirits or snakes tonight and the forest around the village is quiet. The young Ihjãc has nightmares since he lost his father. He is an indigenous Krahô from the north of Brazil. It´s time to organize the funerary feast so the spirit can depart to the dead’s village. The mourning must cease. Denying his duty and in order to escape a crucial process of becoming a shaman, Ihjãc runs away to the city. Far from his people and culture, he faces the reality of being an indigenous in contemporary Brazil.

Winner of the jury prize of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes Film Festival.
