Chico Bento e a Goiabeira Maraviósa tells the story of Chico Bento (known internationally as Chuck Billy), a mischievous and kind-hearted boy living in the Brazilian countryside. When the beloved guava tree of wise and gentle Mr. Lau is threatened—possibly by development or forces that don’t understand its value—Chico and his friends take it upon themselves to defend the tree and what it represents.

What begins as a simple act of protest becomes a larger journey of imagination, unity, and respect for nature, as the children discover there’s more magic in the world—and in their village—than they ever expected.

Rooted in Brazilian rural culture, humor, and classic childhood themes, the film celebrates friendship, community spirit, and the wonders of growing up surrounded by nature.
