巴西金牌编剧鲁伊兹·波洛内西(《大惊小怪》)出手不凡,第一次执导长片就带来了这部大气磅礴的科幻史诗动画大作。影片以横贯五百年、四个时期的巴西为背景,在历史与未来之间,主人公经历生死轮回。与动画大师宫崎骏一样,导演坚持使用手绘创作,为动画风格与人物造型带来一丝执着与复古的色彩,而上海国际电影节的老朋友赛尔顿·梅罗(《小丑》)与戛纳电影节新人奖得主罗德里戈·桑托罗(《球场情圣埃莱诺》)也都在片中倾情献声。Revolves around the love between an immortal hero and Janaína, the woman he has been in love with for 600 years, through Brazil's colonization, slavery, military regime and the future, in 2096, in the midst of wars for water.
