Guiexhuba

Guiexhuba, a young woman from a remote settlement, discovers her body slowly transforming into the roots of an ancient tree at the village's heart. This process, called the 'Returning' by the elders, is both a blessing and a curse, tethering her fate to the spirit of the land. As her skin patterns with bark and her fingers reach for the soil, Guiexhuba must decide whether to embrace her destiny as a guardian or find a way to break the centuries-old cycle, risking the fragile balance that sustains her people. Her internal conflict unfolds amidst rituals and the quiet resistance of those who question the old ways.
