This foreign woman is pissing me off

Are you harvesting?

Good harvestl

Where is the baby?

He's dead

He had a bad arm... lt was a boy...

How could you do that?

lt was a boy... He would not have survived

He would never have been able to hunt

or feed his family

He didn't see the moon

He didn't drink my milk

There is no pain

l don't know why you invented that

l don't want to go so far away

Chief Kakokiteri wanted to eat your vaglna

She is my woman

One day l'll have to take my revenge

On Chief Kakokiteri

She may perhaps be your woman with the eyes

You almost never get her into the hammock

lt doesn't matter!, it doesn't matterl

Where did those long knives at the party come from?

The Kakokiteris have long knives

From the bartering they do

But foreigners are the ones who make those knives

The Kakokiteris walk for many days to reach the knives party

Maybe the foreigners are getting closer

Where?

Stop askingl

Anyway, you don't know how to get there

Take me where they made the knives parties

Let's stay here a while

l had forgotten that the sky was so big.

Let me breathe in its grandness

Let's go, let's go!

l'll show you the world above and the world below.

Let's go!

Aunt, l can t wa t to return

S nce my uncle Luis died, it distresses me to know that you're a one

As lonely as me

My n ghtmares with mommy have returned. l keep dreaming about her

Many quest ons and doubts assail me

l have the feeling... The sensat on that she s bes de me

l will talk to you about that. l love and miss you...

We will spend the night here

ln fact, l don't know how to get to your world nor to the long knives party

What l do know, is that our Shabono is somewhere over there

Thunder, thunder! l'm scared!

Don't be scared

Big sky scares me

Yes, l know it scares you

Tell me. l'm your slster

Tell me what you saw

Tell me what you saw. Tell me

l saw my daughter

You saw your daughter. How wonderful!... How dld you see her?

She looks like a woman

But she s not all rght

No, no, not sad, not sad, you love her, you care, good thlng

She ls big, ... Eats well? She ls big, eats well?

Leave her alone

She is different

She'll understand

God, let me see her again!

Amazonas s the land of al superatives Because

its surface of 7 mill ons square ki ometers

The rchness of its biodiversity. and ts naccessible land

lt is in this territory, of a savage and mysterous beauty

Where the Yanomami, the Amazonia s ind genous peop e l ves

That has recently awakened the sc entists' cur osity

What did you do today?

Nothing, l went for a walk

Nothing, l went for a walk. l went for a walk. nothing

That's all you've done since you arr ved from Europe

Don't start

No. am not go ng to start...

But you have to think about what you're going to do

l know. .but et me decide it.

You have to incorporate yourself to l fe, E ena

No! We are not going to d scuss it!

l just want to think.. .l want to be alone

That doesn't make things easier

You don't dare relate to people because you want to control everyth ng

l wish it were so

l ve been think ng

About what?

About mommy

Thanks, Diana

You can open it...

Open t

lt was a tragedy, E ena. l don't know why you want to re ive that

l have been thinking about. if for some reason

Mommy surv ved and cou dn't come back

Can you magine f she is alive?

There s not logical probability that Ana has survived

Her body wasn't found. Therefore, for me she's not dead

For a long time, l hoped to find her

And l fe t

she was alive, but it was irrationa

nobody believed t

only me

We did everything

Everything, Elena... w th no resu ts

Aunt, l need your help l need to know

Do you remember Father Nelson?

lt's the on y thing have left

Your D p ease

Anthropologist?

No . Tourist

lt's a l right Cruz!... lt's a l right! She comes to ta k with me

Relax. Everything is fine

You've come at a bad moment... Aga n we have two poisoned lndians

lt's shameful.. Nobody helps us

lt's a disaster

The gar mpeiros!, they on y think about go d

They spill their mercury shit in the river

And of course, the lndians drink the water,

take baths as they have a ways done

And we don't have time to even take care of the sick ones

Do you know what th s means?

lt's a disgrace!

Cause they d e without knowing why

Come

Father Felipe, excuse me..

Yes, Yes, l know, is Father Nelson, l have already spoken with him by radio

Father

Father is it true that you open my etters as if you were an o d goss per?

And above a l. did you a so keep the report l

sent to the FOUNDATlON requesting financing?

Listen to me!... Your critic sm of the Mission harms us

You, young man. must be thirty years old n th s word.

and one year in this region.

l've been here for fifteen years

l don't bel eve in your Rousseaunian's theory!

This s not the Garden of Eden and lndians need us!

Oh Father, please... lnd ans have managed w thout your help for centuries

Go ive with them so you can understand that missions are important!

And regard ng your report, l am going to keep t for awhile

And f you don't change your m nd, only then l'll send it to the FOUNDATlON

Of course, since you are the priest, you are the owner of the truth!

Deep down, you and l know

the only thing that matters to you is how many

lnd ans are converted to Chrstianity. sn't it?

Look, lf don't get my money because you

retained my report, bear the consequences

Father

Father Felipe!

Damn this new plague of Anthropologists

This fool doesn't rea ze that we are precisely,

in the land of the last consequences?

Father Nelson is a family frend. He sent that letter years ago

Let's see

Here they talk about a Nape Yoma, some kids

from Shakita near the New Mavaca Miss on

Her spirit gave me the strength

And the acceptance to let her go free

Now l know that her essence is mine
