In 1953, thirteen years after the beginning of the so-called “March to the West“ in Brazil, the indigenists Villas-Boas brothers found among the Caiapó Indians the young João Kramura, a white man taken from his parents and raised in the tribe. The story of João and Thini-a, who share the same troubled story of living between two worlds, is retold through the indian Funi-ô Thini-á. Following in João‘s footsteps, who finds resonance in Thini-á‘s footsteps, the documentary questions the breakdown of the indigenous culture in the aftermath of the white invasion and the evolution of anthropologists‘ and indigenists‘ concepts over the course of 60 years.
