What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.

In 1594 Brazil, a frenchman becomes a prisoner of the Tupinambás. While waiting to be executed, the foreigner learns the habits of the indigenous people and joins a woman who tries to help him escape.
