The Age of the Earth

Drawing inspiration from a poem penned by Castro Alves, this film vividly captures the political, cultural, and intellectual climate of Brazil during the late 1970s. At its core, the story revolves around four distinctive embodiments of Christ's image: a black man, a soldier, an Indian, and a guerrilla fighter. These courageous individuals, hailed as the harbingers of doom in the tupiniquim lands, valiantly combat the insatiable avarice and oppressive "civilizing" brutality propagated by the formidable John Brahms—a foreign exploiter devoid of morals.

A Filha de Iemanjá

One day, a fishing couple finds a crate on the seashore containing a child. They decide to raise the girl, convinced that she is the daughter of Iemanjá, judging by her origins. Meanwhile, Teixeirinha, a famous singer and composer, is experiencing a period of profound isolation due to the death of his wife. Because he composed a beautiful song in homage to the goddess of the waters, Iemanjá, she takes pity on him, sending her daughter to ease his pain and encourage him to compose again for the joy of his people. Amidst encounters and partings, the ending is surprising, as love doesn't always conquer pain. Or does it?
