Through her child’s eyes, Patpro will go through three periods of the history of her indigenous people, in the heart of the Brazilian forest. Tirelessly persecuted, but guided by their ancestral rites, their love of nature and their fight to preserve their freedom, the Krahô never stop inventing new forms of resistance.

Guy Lodge Variety Blending candid vérité with extravagant flourishes of fiction, the film sees its helmers sharing screenwriting duties with a trio of Krahô locals, and feels more textured for their collaboration. Jul 1, 2023 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Charged and vibrant. May 30, 2023 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com While made with rigor, respect, commitment, and sensitivity, the film never bores or tries to push an agenda. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 8, 2024 Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora readdress what's reflected upon their previous film, but also stress a certain demand for social awareness which seems to split the movie into two. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League The entire film is unusual, for both the method in which it’s told, the setting in which it takes place, and its unremitting concern for indigenous issues and the gentle assertion that their rights are paramount. May 28, 2023 Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa The film’s strength is such that it eventually becomes impossible not to look at this beautiful place without feeling a real sense of urgency and alarm.
