A Lenda Da Leoa Da Montanha – In the mountains, an old wise man tells his young niece the legend of one of their ancestors, Unami. Unami was the daughter of a brave warrior who had been killed for revolting against the violence of the leader. Following her father’s death, the beautiful young lady moved to the forest, causing the village to forget about her for a long time. But one day, the villagers hear a godlike scream: it’s Unami, who has come to vindicate her father and fight with incredible strength.
