Summary:

Members of the Zo'é tribe in the rainforests of Brazil discuss hunting spider monkeys, why they wear long blocks of wood in their lower lips, why they go naked most of the time, and how developers and gold miners are destroying the rainforest. They also see television for the first time. The occasion for the film is a visit to the tribe by representatives of a neighboring tribe, the Oyampi Indians, who are related but have somewhat different customs and traditions.
