Diogo is a cartographer and artist who is charged
with setting out the new frontiers of Portuguese Colonies
in South America.
When he reaches the center of the continent, finds
apparently nothing but wilderness and 'uncivilized'
natives with strange ways of living.
But Captain Pedro, the rude scout who guides him through
the jungle, involves Diogo in an involuntary act of
violence which will tie him in an unusual way to that
far away country.
At the same time, the Portuguese colonists are trying
to make peace with Guaicuru Indians (one of the few
natives with horse-riding abilities). But peace doesn't
ever have a low price.
