This feature documentary was born out of the desire of Guarani filmmaker Alberto Alvares (Tupã Ra’y) to return to his native village. Historically, several borders have been imposed on Guarani territory, causing serious changes. Encounters, displacements, new and old borders permeate the stories of this film, capable of taking us to the sacred territory Yvy Pyte, from where the world emerged for the Guarani—the Heart of the Earth. A journey following the timbre of return. Territory as a free dwelling place dancing between imposed borders. Home is feeling like “a bird in the heart of the Earth”.
