Ancient maps, mysterious manuscripts, remote civilizations: a gallery of hallucinated characters embarks on an existential, sensory journey from Brazil that questions the unpredictable force of the universe. Under the divine protection of Jimi Hendrix, it captures human ignorance in the face of the meaning of the present. Sincere, idiosyncratic, Godardian: one of Rogério Sganzerla’s freest films.
