Comments on the history of a people, made by the filmmakers and their characters. From the time of contact, through captivity in rubber plantations, to the current work with video, the testimonies give meaning to the process of dispersion, loss and reunion experienced by the Huni kui.
Trying to reverse the abandonment of his people's traditions and based on the research previously conducted by his father, professor and writer Joaquim Maná, Zezinho Yube registers the knowledge of the traditional weaving made by the Huni Kui women.
Rubber plantation owners enslaved the Hunikui for decades. Access to modern methods of recording was limited but vital to their survival. A compelling account of this tribe’s cultural resurgence seen through the eyes of their collective memory.
