A team of young doctors on a humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest come to realize that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the “Boiúna”. This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, emerges to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.

In the heart of the forest, Pedro hears a beautiful chant and meets Iara, the Mother of the Waters.

After hearing about a Brazilian folklore party at the neighborhood school, Fernando, an 8-year-old child, decides to go dressed as Curupira, with a skirt and everything, and suggests it to his grandfather, Mr. Lino, 70 years old. The dynamics between grandfather and grandson begin to be affected as Lino perceives Fernando to be a different child. Through subtleties in the dialogues and the silence, social conventions and the responsibility of being the guardian-protector of something precious, the film evokes conceptions of the masculine within a queer childhood.
