Birdwatchers

The Fazendeiros lead a wealthy and leisurely existence. They own huge fields with transgenic plantations and spend their nights with tourists who come bird watching. Meanwhile, at the borders of their lands, the uneasiness of the indigenous Guarani Indians is growing. Enclosed in reserves, with no other opportunity other than working as semi-slaves in sugar beet plantations, the suicide rate among their young people is rising. But soon, a rebellion begins. Led by Nadio and a shaman, a group of Guarani starts camping outside the farm to claim their land back. The two opposing worlds face each other, engaged in a war of ideology and identity – but, as tensions rise, curiosity begins to inspire a deep bond between the young shaman apprentice Osvaldo and Fazendeiro’s daughter.
