It doesn’t take long for the ideas to come out, but not quite the way he expected: as the writer feels like he’s been living among stories — and not people —, he comes across the mysterious emergence of typed pages in his desk, supposedly written by the previous resident of the house.

World Cup, garden, ritual. In the midst of an intense - and common - day in the village of the indigenous people Enawenê-Nawê, in Mato Grosso, Kularenê tells us how, when they left the same stone, Indians and whites took different paths: the first guided by Wadari, his ancestor, and the others by Lareokotô, grandfather of whites and father of technology.

The 'Vídeo nas Aldeias' performed with the Enawenê Nawê Indians, for fifteen years, extensive records of Yaõkwa, their longest ritual, in which the masters of ceremony pull, for seven months, a myriad of songs, in order to maintain the balance of the earthly world as a spiritual world. In this film, another fifteen years later, the Enawenê Nawê rediscover these images and, with them, deceased relatives, customs that have fallen into disuse and precious ritual songs.
