Our take

Stretching over the seemingly infinite terrain of rural Brazil, Cao Guimarães’ poetic documentary takes the roads less travelled, intimately observing the rituals of nomadic living with striking care. Under the austerity of the sweltering sun, the movements of the human body carry a new poignancy.
