A land is a place of knowledge, resistance and enchantment. It is a place to reestablish the connection with ñanderu and live a life made of prayer, plantation, school, extense family, chicha, chima, terere, guahu, kotyhu. For the Guarani and Kaiowa in MS to retake occupation over their traditional lands, their tekohas, means resuming the possibility of living their own way of life, their Teko. Directed by a group of young men, women, and leaderships from Tekoha Guaiviry, this film attaches the particular story of a fight that resulted in the reoccupation of the land where they now live to the daily life arousal of the Teko in Guaiviry.

This experimental short film proposes a lyrical plunge into the sacred words of the shaman Valdomiro Flores about the original territory and the traditional way of being Kaiowá indigenous people (Mato Grosso do Sul/Brazil) elaborated from a set of images of the phenomenon of kuarahy jeguaka (head ornament of the Sun).
The collective Guahu’i Guyra spent three years filming their people, the Guarani-Kaiowá, original inhabitants of a piece of land in Brazil. Much of of their ancestral lands have been destroyed by monoculture and deforestation. In the small territory they managed to retake, a few families try to live according to their traditional way of life, devoting a lot of attention to each other and their environment.
