Mal del viento — Plot

This documentary explores the case of Julián Acuña, a boy from the Mbya Guaraní Indigenous Community. Julián was transferred and hospitalized in Buenos Aires by court order. Doctors prescribed heart surgery. The community's spiritual leader dreamed of a stone in the boy's heart and requested his return to the village to heal him with traditional medicine. Time passed, but the boy and his family, far from the forest and completely alone, continued to suffer.
