SYNOPSIS
On the outskirts of São Paulo city, a train cuts through indigenous territory. Inside the territory, Jera dreams, and in her dreams the city invades her village. In the same community Rete, an animal capable of moving between times and spaces, recalls the story of an ancient river, which was swallowed by the city. While cutting through the concrete, the river dreams, and in their dreams they flood the entire city. In the dreamscape, Jera and the river come together.​​

Filmed in partnership with the community of Kuaray Oua village, territory of the Guarani Mbya people within the Tenondé Porã Indigenous Land, in the extreme South Zone of the city of São Paulo​, Brazil.
