Synopsis

Morning breaks in a Tikmu'un - Maxakali indigenous village. Fog hangs in the air, mingling with smoke from bonfires and the scent of coffee. The villagers move through their daily routines, marked by a slow pace. Later, they travel to the city in the back of a truck. At a local market, their presence reveals a clash between traditional life and urban culture. The film captures these contrasting worlds in a 32-minute observation of daily life.
