A dynamic video collage, called a 'folk symphony' by the creators themselves, which captures the soul of Brazil and its inhabitants in words and images. The South American country has a history of violent oppression and resistance, but also of resilience and togetherness. Driven by music, archival footage, newly shot material, interviews, voice-overs, commercials, television series and surveillance camera footage are forged into a rhythmic, often ironic and then chilling mix of impressions. Themes such as modern slavery, class differences, religion and misogyny are evoked by images of a sugar plantation owner, of the armed struggle for land and property, of wealth and deep poverty, of violent men, traditional role patterns and conservative propaganda. Other images exude optimism and a sense of community. Anyone who distances himself a little more from this almost endless, restless flow of impressions can clearly see how much the spirit of colonialism is still working in today's Brazil.
