The story of Bibiru, a kaikuxi (dog) that became panema, with no luck in hunting, and Waranaré Wayana attempt to cure him, so they could hunt together again. In an intense hunt, young people learn about the origin of ancestral dogs and the care they must take when hunting in their territory, located in the Amazon. Indigenous reflections on the relationships between humans and non-humans help to illuminate the interactions that non-indigenous people establish with the animals they feed on. All the images were taken by young Wayana and Aparai, who were learning to film for the first time in Bona village (Para State, Brazil).
