Short Film
The ghost of Iracema sets out on her quest through the forks in the Amazon to find Curupira and avenge her future. Curupira and the Machine of Destiny films the reality of Brazil in 2021 and the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest, transformed into cattle, timber and soy. It is a portrait of history - and the History of Brazil - in the face of supposed progress.
