昆汗比比(Cunhambebe)是印第安塔穆约(Tamoyo)部落武装反抗葡萄牙人的同盟领袖,这个部落现今分布于里约热内卢至圣保罗之间。根据死里逃生的Cunhambebe俘虏海员施塔登(Hans Staden)的回忆录描述,图皮南巴(Tupinambá)族人是食人族,凶残而且好斗。
1555年法国入侵里约热内卢,塔穆约部落与葡萄牙人联合抗击法国。
由于战争的持续,传教士José de Anchieta 和Manuel da Nóbrega发现了巴西东南面的一个小村皮拉蒂宁卡村(aldeia de Piratininga),此后此处逐渐发展成为了今天的圣保罗。因为Anchieta能够流利的使用图皮语,两人之后进入了Cunhambebe的部族中,并与其达成了一系列协议。1567年,在乌巴图巴(Ubatuba),他们与Cunhambebe签订了Iperoig条约,条约的签署使得巴西落入葡萄牙人的手中,而且在当地只允许使用葡萄牙语和信奉天主教。在16世纪以前,当地的图皮人一直都是奴隶。
这部电影讲述的便是1594年葡萄牙骑士Estácio de Sá(1520-1567) 试图驱逐法国殖民者,在此之际,由于塔穆约部落的仇敌图皮金人(Tupiniquins)站在葡萄牙人一方,他们感到背叛,于是开始支持法国人。
一位法国人Arduíno Colassanti被图皮南巴俘获。虽然他已自称是法国人,但审判仍判定他是来自葡萄牙,惩罚他为奴隶。Seboipepe的丈夫死于葡萄牙人之手,于是他们结婚,希望得到神灵的复仇。
随后,在一场战役中他用葡萄牙人留下的大炮击败了图皮金人,为了庆祝这一胜利,图皮南巴人决定把他吃掉……

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
