Synopsis

Spoiler shield

It is a film about the deep Brazil, not Brazil as a society, state or experience; it is a film about a geological, prehistoric and pre-logical Brazil. The adventures of the Caribbean monster, its wanderings along a virgin beach evoke, before Brazil, the artistic wanderings of a filmmaker in constant friction and, why not say, struggle against the mommy-daddy cinema, produced without taste, without joy and without adventure.
