Our suggestions
The Caravana Rolidei rolls into town with the Gypsy Lord at the mike: he does magic tricks, the erotic Salomé dances, and the mute Swallow performs feats of strength. A young accordion player is completely enamored of Salomé, and he begs to come along. The Gypsy Lord shrugs, and the accordionist and his pregnant wife, Dasdô, join the troupe. Television is their enemy as they go from the coast deep into the Amazon.
"This is a movie about exploring the interior of Brazil, about discovering ourselves as evolution arrives and changes everything - our lives, our customs. Despite what it may seem at first, the story is not about leaving Brazil - but rather leaving behind that Brazil which was dying in 1979, and of which there is very little left today."
