The Whisper of the Jaguar is a queerpunk-roadmovie, set in a region of the Amazon, that explores indigenous knowledge – and trance-states triggered by medicinal plants. The protagonist Ana, who carries the ashes of her late brother, a kuir (queer)-activist, with her, gains access to the memories and traumas of her ancestors and must confront her own preconceptions of indigeneity, ego and death in today’s Brazilian political landscape.
