[ita] I Yuyos sono tutte le piante spontanee che possono essere medicinali o semplici erbe. Ci sono yuyos tossici e altri benefici per la salute.
Nella Colonia Luz Bella, in Paraguay, i ricercATTOri Giulia Lepori e Michał Krawczyk vivono con la famiglia contadina Franco Gauto per documentarne le conoscenze etnobotaniche in relazione alla loro quotidianità. Nato per riscattare il patrimonio della medicina naturale di una famiglia dedicata all’agroecologia, il film etnografico si fa portavoce di una comunità in convivenza con la deforestazione. In un contesto di condivisione familiare, facilitata soprattutto dalla bevanda sociale del tereré, i yuyos diventano agenti narrativi di storie d’impegno ed eco-resistenza.

In Colonia Luz Bella, Paraguay, the reSEARCHers Giulia Lepori and Michał Krawczyk live with the peasant family Franco Gauto to document their ethnobotanical knowledge in relation to their daily life. Born to recover the natural medicine’s heritage of one family involved with agroecology, the ethnographic film speaks for a whole community in cohabitation with deforestation. In a context of familiar sharing, eased by the social beverage of tereré, yuyos become narrative agents of stories of commitment and eco-resistance.
