Summaries

From contemplation to awakening, from revolt to sacrifice, the inner journey of a young Jesuit priest, Nando, into the depths of the jungle, into the depths of himself. Amongst the Xingu Indians, in the heart of Brazil, in the very place where the quests take form, he will begin to understand the destiny of his "Kuarup". For God, for a woman or for justice, these are always the same words for all loves. A passionate fresco on a Brazil large as life.
