According to the Avá-Guarani cosmology, after death there are only two sacred places that lead them to heaven. These two places are connected by an artificial lake, filled by the construction of an huge hydroelectric.
In 2018 the national indigenous health program was threatened by the Federal Government and indigenous people took to the streets in protest. This was when the Avá-Guarani occupied the sacred places. Or what's left of it. This film follows this occupation.
