France/Brazil 2021
The film shows the worlds of the Hupd’äh, people of the Northwest Amazon in Brazil, from the perspective and ethnographic collection of anthropologist Renato Athias. It presents geopolitics of occupation of social spaces and the trails that interconnect the various clans and their neighbors in the interfluvial region of the Uaupés, Papuri and Tiquié rivers. It is also a narrative about kinship networks and the relationship of the Hupd’äh with the ecological environment, where non-human beings from the forest, the “spirits”, also live.
