Synopsis
In vivid images, the documentary-like story of a drover and his family in the northern badlands of Brazil during the drought. A family in the search of new hope and destiny.
Cinematic DNA
And of course there's Nelson Pereira dos Santos's Vidas Secas, a film that for me is a reference in how to deal with characters in this context. It's about how to express a point of view through what they don't say.
