There are no spirits or snakes tonight and the forest around the village is quiet. Fifteen year old Ihjãc has nightmares since he lost his father. He is an indigenous Krahô, from the north of Brazil, destined to be a shaman. A chant comes through the palm trees. His father’s voice calls him: it’s time to organize the funerary feast so the spirit can depart to the dead’s village. The mourning must cease. Ihjãc runs away to the city and faces the reality of being an indigenous in contemporary Brazil.

Renée Nader Messora // Renée Nader Messora (1979, Brazil), since 2009, is participating in the local collective of Krahô filmmakers, which is focused in the strengthening of the indigenous identity.
João Salaviza //  João Salaviza (1984, Portugal), has won the Berlinale Golden Bear for his short film Rafa (2012) and the Palme d’Or at the Festival de Cannes for his short film Arena (2009).
