Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
While the country is under the yoke of a military junta and corrupt priests preach the apocalypse, a lawless, eccentric family treks through Brazil’s interior with the aim to deliver a consignment of weapons to a group of militant nuns. A journey begins that becomes ever more dangerous.
Resonating with today’s political situation while taking inspiration from Brazil’s history of counterculture, Sol Alegria is a psychedelic and electrifying road trip which blares its unbridled freedom in every scene. An exhilaratingly extravagant mirage crafted by poet and filmmaker Tavinho Teixera.
