‘Yupumá’ refers to doing something for the first time. This indigenous concept, belonging to the Huni Kuin/Kaxinawá people from the lowland Brazilian Amazon, serves as the backdrop to this film where we follow Kawá Huni Kuin, an apprentice pajé preparing to leave his village deep in the forest to go to Europe for the first time.
