Abstract
Like forceful omens, scientific reports have hitherto depicted the Amerindian Emerillon (Teko) as cultureless and doomed to disappear.
With this film, the anthropologist Perle Møhl proposes to defy the negative images, by the same token delving into their world.
Several young Emerillon take up the challenge, and through their sometimes stumbling, but always resourceful efforts to maintain a life in the forest, while profiting from their status as French citizens, they present another version of what being Emerillon is about.
