- Summary:
- In a Mbyá-Guarani community straddling the Brazil-Argentina border, the legend of Canuto--a man believed to have transformed into a jaguar before his tragic death--remains vivid. Filmmakers Ariel Kuaray Ortega and Ernesto de Carvalho collaborate with the community to reenact Canuto's story, blurring the lines between myth and reality, fiction and documentary. This film-within-a-film delves into indigenous storytelling, collective memory, and the transformative power of cinema.
