In the southwestern Amazon, academic research has revealed more than 1,000 geometric structures formed by excavated ditches and earthworks. These structures are mainly circular and square, although other forms, including rectangles, ovals and octagons, have also been identified. The documentary presents Indigenous narratives about these pre-colonial geometric earthworks, recent findings from international research teams, and the perspectives of Brazilian government officials and farmers who currently live at the sites. It also highlights current challenges related to protecting Indigenous cultural heritage and biocultural landscapes.

A hybrid between documentary and the discipline of performance itself, moving between documentation and creation. The film uses elements and techniques associated with cinema, including archival material and recordings of Ferrer's artistic practice and her reflections on specific aspects of her work. These are combined with animation and original creative material produced for the film.

Versus interweaves ritual gestures, oral memory and visual experimentation in a poetic and performative cinematic experience. Set in the Lucanian highlands, a procession of women carries out acts of care upon a wounded landscape. The sound draws on 1954 field recordings by Carpitella and de Martino, reinterpreted to question the image. The film enters into dialogue with Luigi Di Gianni's ethnographic cinema, moving beyond the documentary framework to create a hybrid space where cinema meets visual art, anthropology and performance, and where new forms of meaning are explored. Versus transforms landscape, gesture and sound into an immersive exploration of memory and care.
