The film follows important moments in the history of Brazil, narrated by a character who lives almost 600 years ago, seeking for the resurrection of his beloved Janaína, and coming to his current life in the year 2096.[3] It was one of the 19 submitted for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in the 86th edition.[4]
In 2020 the movie was re-released in English territories with English dubbing under the name The Immortal Warrior.[2][5]
Plot
editThe film is set in four dates in the history of Brazil: 1566, when the country was discovered by the Portuguese explorers, 1825, in events during slavery; 1968, during the high point of the authoritarian military dictatorship, and 2096, when there will be a war over water. The film narrates the love between Janaina and a native warrior who, when dying, takes the form of a bird. For six centuries, the story of the couple survives through these four stages in the history of Brazil.[6]
