Aguyjevete Avaxa'i
The documentary celebrates the resumption of the planting of traditional maize varieties by the Guarani M'bya people in the Kalipety village, where there used to be a dry and degraded area, a result of decades of eucalyptus monoculture. Considered as one of the true foods that divine beings have in their heavenly homes, corn undergoes rituals and blessings from planting to harvest, when the village gathers to celebrate. Eating it keeps the vitality of human beings in balance, just like the deities.
