              A bunch of warriors and weird creatures in a dangerous journey through a constantly changing landscape. In their trajectory, these heroes are swallowed, dismembered, radically changed by the world they live in. Are they in movement or the world itself is moving? Besides being an adventure plenty of surprises and mysteries, this stop-motion film take an unusual glance to a world made of bodies that dance, where the corporal limits and rules are transfigured in new meanings and coexistence possibilities. New perspectives are discovered at each step, in a narrative that moves between the lyrical and the comical, using classic epics, cape-and-sword adventures and silent movies as referential points.
