The border between Brazil and Paraguay stretches over 1,524 kilometers. When Luana Ruiz, a rich heiress of vast lands, covets the green lands on this border, she provokes a war against the native inhabitants.
Ruiz is the embodiment of the authoritarian Brazilian President Bolsonaro's rule: in her eyes, the natives deserve only hatred and contempt. But Elenir Shimendes rises against her – a teacher, leader and social activist on behalf of the Guarni-Kaiuba people. Shimendes herself pays the price of the fight against the rich elites, but she manages to fight back and protect her community and its lands.
