In a Mbyá-Guarani community straddling the Brazil-Argentina border, the legend of Canuto—a man believed to have transformed into a jaguar before his tragic death—remains vivid. Filmmakers Ariel Kuaray Ortega and Ernesto de Carvalho collaborate with the community to reenact Canuto's story, blurring the lines between myth and reality, fiction and documentary. This film-within-a-film delves into indigenous storytelling, collective memory, and the transformative power of cinema.
