About the Film
Ane, a spirited 12-year-old influencer, spends her afternoons playing with her cousins, Madson and Janice, in the Jamary village deep in the Amazon region. One day, during a daring game initiated by her cousins, Ane ventures fearlessly into the mysterious forest, where she encounters Anhangá—an enchanted indigenous spirit that protects her community and fights tirelessly for the preservation of the forest. However, the forest and its people face grave danger from Walter, a powerful land-grabber exploiting and threatening the local community. When Anhangá is captured by Walter, Ane teams up with her cousins to rescue him, embarking on the most thrilling and life-changing adventure they have ever known.
