Our take

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.
