Curtis Marcone, an American he-man looking for an escape to nature, joins his long-lost Brazilian biologist brother Francis on a spontaneous journey to find a rare beetle in the Amazon. While hiking, Curtis is bitten by a snake.

As he enters a hallucinogenic state from the venom, a guide seeks the antidote. In the night, the two brothers are captured as slaves by a tribe of Amazonian women. Under the control of a princess slave-master Osimão, Curtis enters a matriarchal society where women prepare to cannibalize Francis and turn Curtis into a sex-slave-warrior.

In confinement, Curtis befriends Cobrão, another male slave. Together they plot the rescue of Francis, and their own escape.

PRODUCTION NOTES : Shot in the Mato Grosso plateau that leads into the southern Amazon basin, the crew and cast endured grueling humid heat and sudden rain in a snake infested jungle. The tropical beauty and the natural cruelty of the setting of Transmigration required endurance that makes the human passion and suffering palpably surreal and hallucinogenic. The extraordinary photography captures not only the vulnerablity of the characters, but also the jungle as its own vicious and beautiful antagonist. Feature Fiction, 96 Minutes. In English and Portuguese.
