In northern Brazil, trains aren't just a means of transportation: they're paths of life, music... and sometimes miracles.

This documentary takes you from Salvador de Bahia, a city with 365 churches and the spiritual heart of Brazil, to the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where the railways give way to the jungle. In Salvador, sacred chants echo within the walls of the Bonfim church, where carriages are blessed and wishes are tied with colorful ribbons. Further north, the "jungle train" winds through the heart of the forest, connecting isolated communities, resilient farmers, and acai harvesters. On the island of Marajó, the police ride buffalo to patrol inaccessible areas. And among the Parkatégé, proud descendants of Amazonian peoples, travel becomes a journey of transmission and resistance.

A rare journey, combining spirituality, powerful nature, and vibrant humanity.
