From the point of view of a girl, Patpro will travel three eras in the history of her native people, located in the heart of the Brazilian jungle. Relentlessly pursued, but guided by their ancestral rites, their love of nature and their struggle to preserve their freedom, the Krahô never cease to create new forms of resistance.

Curatorial note:
The Buriti Flower offers an intimate window into the Krahô people’s ongoing resistance in the heart of Brazil. With lyrical pacing and extraordinary visual depth, it honours indigenous memory, identity, and ritual. In a festival landscape where Amazonian stories can often feel formulaic, this film stands apart as immersive, richly told, and profoundly attuned to questions of belonging, borders, and the right to remain.
