In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Jonás, a young indigenous gold digger, is convinced that he is the chosen one who will bring prosperity to his community. But gold gradually plunges him into a destructive madness, endangering his own people.
"As a Brazilian author, indigenous on my mother's side and bandeirante (literally flag-carrier) on my father's side, I believe it is my responsibility to give a voice to this struggle with which I have always identified. Through all of my films I have always tried to shed light on the so-called minority, those who are persecuted and rejected by society. Bandeira follows the same line as my previous films, where my characters always fight against a nature that was imposed on them"
