A teacher, activist, and guardian of Amazonian knowledge, Dona Onete became a music star at 72, but her story began much earlier. In this documentary filmed among the rivers and forests of Pará, Onete sings of the banzeiros (drums), the dolphins, and the flavors of the forest with humor and wisdom in a celebration of the living Amazon that pulsates in her voice.

A poetic dive into the cultural richness and strength of women who play a fundamental role in maintaining the musical traditions of the Amazon. A journey through the region's sonic aspects, from samba de cacete to carimbó, through masters such as Iolanda do Pilão, Miloca, Bigica and Onete.
