15-летний Ияк живёт в племени Крахо на севере Бразилии. С тех пор, как он потерял отца, его по ночам преследует видение. Юноша входит в тёмный безмолвный лес, полный притаившихся духов и змей. Голос отца зовёт его к водопаду. Чтобы душа покойного смогла спокойно достичь страны мёртвых, сын должен совершить погребальный обряд. Но Ияк не желает выполнять свой долг, как и не хочет становиться шаманом. Он убегает в город. Вдали от своего народа, своей культуры юноша узнаёт, каково быть индейцем в современной Бразилии.

Developing from an idea of diptych, the story of Anajara and Allison is told from two perspectives in continuity. If late night work complicates the life of one of them, the incarceration in jail of the other determines a cycle of separation. Salaviza's skill to direct amateur actors is showed in this film, one of his more precise works.

In the beginning the idea was to make something from nothing, in a neutral and unknown place. Collect images and sounds instead of producing them. The camera, the microphone and the mini-amplifier: tools that take away and then give back. We defined a rule: the sound shouldn't illustrate the image and the image shouldn't absorb the sound. Less than a hundred kilometres from Reykjavik we found Strokkur. For three days we saw and heard the internal dynamics of the crevice: the boiling water that spat out every seven minutes and the thermal shock, given the eighteen degrees below zero of the atmosphere.
