GUARANÍ MYTHOLOGY · CULTURAL IDENTITY
A mythology-driven epic from the heart of South America
Where a young girl's destiny is the only force that can awaken a lost world hidden deep within the forest.
THE PROJECT
An ambitious Paraguay-born 3D animated feature inspired by Guaraní mythology.
LOGLINE
When mysterious invaders destroy her village, a young Guaraní girl chosen by the spirit of the jaguar must lead her people along the legendary Tape Aviru toward the Land Without Evil, confronting ancient creatures and the inevitable collision between two worlds.
THE GUARANÍ
The undisputed soul of South America
The Guaraní culture isn't a museum relic — it's the undisputed soul of South America. Our movie is the bridge to close that gap: by bringing their ancient mythology to the global screen, we aren't just telling a story from the past.
We are using this project to expand their legacy, ensuring their culture and voice resonate across the world.
A MYTHOLOGICAL JOURNEY
From the heart of South America
Paraguay is the only country in the Americas where an indigenous language — Guaraní — is co-official. Its mythology, its people and its ancestral identity stretch across Brazil and Argentina.

Shared origin story, never told on screen
No animated feature has ever told it — until now.
GUARANÍ TERRITORY
A territory that spans three nations
This map illustrates the extensive cultural and historical region of the Guaraní people. Spanning central South America, the territory covers present-day Paraguay, Brazil, and neighboring countries.
LIVING TRACES
Guaraní imprints across South America
The Guaraní legacy lives on in the names of cities and landscapes across South America. Places like Iguazú, Paraná, Itatí, Guaraniaçu, Ivinhema and Yapeyú preserve the memory of an ancient culture deeply connected to rivers, forests and nature.
These names come from the Guaraní language, where words describe the natural world itself. Today, they remain a living trace of identity across the region.
ROOTED IN REAL HISTORY
This story is built on real historical research and documented knowledge about the Guaraní people. Every place, name, and cultural reference is based on verified history, linguistic evidence, and territorial records.
We are not recreating myth — we are revealing what is already true: the Guaraní presence that still shapes South America today.

THE TEAM
The people behind the project
The world knows many mythologies.
This one has never been told.
A forgotten mythology. A living culture. A story that deserves the global stage. For the first time, the Guaraní ancestral world will become a cinematic experience for audiences everywhere.
We are looking for strategic partners, producers and investors who believe in the power of original stories, cultural identity and world-class animation.
Join us in creating a film that does more than entertain — it preserves a legacy.
