When the tribe leader Piatã joins the French in the fight against the Portuguese, the entire Tupinambás are slaughtered and Abeguar turns into a bird that flies for more than two hundred years to find Janaina.

If that is the case you will really like it ... if not, even the 6 I gave it, will sound too much in your eyes ...
