Trailer Synopsis Cast

Only six elders of the Manoki population in the Brazilian Amazon still speak the indigenous language, an imminent risk of losing the means by which they communicate with their spirits. Although this is a difficult subject, the younger ones decide to narrate with images and words their version of this long history of interaction with non-indigenous, talking about their pains, challenges and desires. Despite all the difficulties of the current context, the struggle and hope echo within the dimensions of a short film, indicating "the manoki idiom will live!"
