Film Synopsis: Sandra Benites, Guarani-Ñandeva, narrates the creation of Urutau. A bird that remains motionless on a branch during the day and at dusk echoes a melancholic song like a lament. In December 2013, as if fulfilling the manifest destiny in his name, José Urutau Guajajara remained atop a tree for 26 hours, deprived of food and water by the forces of the State, heroically resisting the third eviction of Maracanã Village.
