SYNOPSIS

​

In a late indigenous territory lies the largest airport in Brazil. The Intrusion retains its gaze not upon the people passing through it, but on those who remain: the thousands of workers who carry out its operation on a daily basis. By following our characters, we pursue the matter that unites them: the traces of a lost past in a territory in constant transformation.
