The Ardor (2014)

On the fertile fringes of the Amazonian rainforest, near the whispering waves of the Argentinian Paraná River, peace is shattered by the arrival of a brutal trio of brothers. Led by the deranged Tarquinho, they tear through the verdant wilderness, their greed driving them to seize the land from its gentle inhabitants. The tranquility of the region is further disrupted when Vania, the young daughter of a prominent tobacco farm owner, becomes their captive, a precious pawn in their ruthless game. In this turmoil, a figure rise from the river - Kaí, a man shrouded in mystery and imbued with an almost supernatural connection to the land. As enigmatic as the jungle he emerges from, Kaí is driven by a mission to trail Vania's armed abductors. But his objective is not only to save the innocent girl, his quest is also to protect the wild jungle from the looming threat of deforestation. As the story unfolds, questions begin to swirl around this silent savior. Who is Kaí? Can he truly rescue Vania, and in doing so, save the jungle he holds so dear? The Ardor takes you on a journey through the lush labyrinth of the rainforest, where the fate of a girl and the future of a jungle hang in the balance, all hinging on the actions of one enigmatic man.
