    A srange movie that is puzzling
    I like foreign movies and the plot line seemed intriguing so I got it thru VUDU I was going to shut it off but there was something wonderfully nice in the interactions between the Guarani girl and the Brazilian boy with few words exchanging. Then the gang wars and the despicable characters. Contradictory to what might have been a beautiful love story and it was interesting to see its outcome, The indigenous actress Zahy is beautiful and just her movements and actions and culture were very enchanting. I am not sure what the director was trying to say

    When I finished it I thought for quite awhile about it. I guess I would call it haunting and if you stick with it you may find it the same.I was aware of Guaranis and Paraguay as I collect harp music from them. I actually looked up more stuff about the Guranis afterwards.
