Salvador, Bahia during the 1950's. Guiga, a child who, through interacting with his mother, Aurora, discovers sexuality and its limits. With his father, Guilherme, who is frightful, austere and puritan, he discovers conflicts. Growing up, he is surrounded by Catholic guilt with sex being taboo. But, literature and cinema will take him to another world of the poets and visionaries. 110 min.

A girl from the countryside goes to the city of Belém to take part in the Círio de Nazaré celebrations. Led to prostitution, she wishes to move to the wealthiest Southeast region of Brazil. In a dance club, she meets a truck driver that transports wood. Dreaming with the big city, she asks for a ride, and the two begin a journey through the Trans-Amazon road. In tension with the Brazilian military authorities of the time, the film registers several aspects of the Amazon social tragedy – forest fires, slave work and child prostitution. Awarded in several international festivals, the film was forbidden by the Brazilian censorship. It was only released years later, winning the Brasília Film Festival in 1981.
