Synopsis

Uirá, an Indian from the tribe Urubu-Kaapor, following the shaman's advice, leaves his village deep inside the state of Maranhão, depressed and tormented by the death of his firstborn. He continues with his wife and children in search of Maira, the creator of the world, who lives somewhere beyond the rivers, in a "land without evils". Along the way, a series of mismatches ends up distancing Uirá from his goal.
