In a village by the shore of Munim River, northern Brazil, the hands of an artisan turn a trunk of a tree into a rustic canoe that will be the transport and the sustenance of his family. A ritual repeated across generations, that questions the border between “cult” and “popular”, “modern” and “traditional”: are they artists or simple artisans?
