Two men, one escaping war, the other poverty, embark on a road trip in 1942, selling the twin forces of cinema (for dreaming) and aspirin (for pain) across the desolate landscapes and tiny hamlets of northeast Brazil. The powerful imagery of this Brazilian Western evokes a lost time and innocence. (Museum of Modern Art)

Gomes portraits the lives of a german running away from WWII and a brazilian leaving his land of poverty and misery with a beautiful, but not sentimental, sense of a documentarist trying to understand human feelings through the places we inhabit, leave and move to. This debut is full of truths we only find in fiction.

A production that describe the northeastern hinterland and Brazilians in the 1940s, a time when many people longed for a rapid change in reality when they went to capitals, fleeing extreme poverty. It is very interesting how Gomes approaches a German in the plot and how the two travelers (the countryman and the foreigner) exchange experiences, share and change thoughts. Very good!
