In this film, Ayoreo leader Mateo Sobode Chiqueno visually explores the terms of present-day life in an evangelical mission. The filmmaker creates a visionary cinematic reflection on what it means to affirm Ayoreo life in the aftermath of colonial violence and social upheaval. He writes, "I made this film so that people in other countries can learn about my people. I want them to know about what happened to us Ayoreo in the past. I want them to think about what kind of future we are creating. I want people to watch this film and know that we should be respected as human beings."
