In search of a new life, Anderson has left his Tikuna community in the Amazon forest for the bustling metropolis of Manaus. There he lives on the outskirts of the city with his sister and her sick child in a barren single room, and supports them through working various jobs. The environment is far from welcoming, but Anderson is driven by a burgeoning awareness of his two-spirited sexuality, which he feels can only be realized in the anonymity of the city. Anderson finds himself in limbo, questioning and rejecting certain tribal rituals, even as he fiercely defends his community and seeks to find peace with his identity.

Anderson é um jovem indígena em conflito com os líderes de sua comunidade, localizada na periferia de Manaus. As tradições mantidas por seu povo parecem anacrônicas em relação à vida contemporânea que leva. Em busca de autoafirmação, Anderson abandona a comunidade para viver sozinho no centro da cidade, onde experimenta novos sentimentos e enfrenta outros desafios. No entanto, o Velho Pajé planeja trazê-lo de volta para mais um ritual.
