In the Paraguayan Chaco, the Totobiegosode people face the threat of deforestation as their ancestral land, Chaidi, dwindles. Each month, 25,000 hectares of forest are lost, impacting their cultural heritage. Asoja, a bird-god, narrates the story of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode, who were displaced from their territory due to conflict. Eami blends documentary and fiction to depict their struggle to maintain a connection to the forest and preserve their identity amidst environmental challenges.
