The Dead and the Others is a Brazilian drama film directed by João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora. The movie follows Ihjãc, a young indigenous man from the Krahô community in Brazil, who is going through the traditional process of becoming a shaman. However, he begins to have doubts about his abilities and responsibilities, and he decides to leave his community to avoid the process.
Ihjãc goes to the city, where he reconnects with an old friend and tries to start a new life away from his culture. However, he is haunted by his past and the spirits of his ancestors, who appear to him in surreal and dramatic ways. He also struggles to find his place in the modern world, as he faces discrimination and social isolation as an indigenous person.
As Ihjãc tries to find his way in the city, he experiences a deep sense of longing and disconnection from his roots. He realizes that he cannot escape his cultural identity and that he needs to face his fears and responsibilities in order to move forward. The Dead and the Others is a poignant and thought-provoking film that explores themes of tradition, identity, and the clash between modernity and indigenous cultures in contemporary Brazil.
