Jardim de Percevejos

A couple of rubber workers from Manaus are transported from 1919, the end of the Spanish Flu in Brazil, to 2020, the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Between quinine, British tea, street music and internet modem, the couple's adventures, under the intoxicating opium of pornochanchada, show how the country's conservative structures have been maintained since other carnivals.

A boy adrift inside an abandoned shack in a river. A dead, decomposing horse and a man bathed in blood. Pesticides, crops, and trucks carrying timber. Naked and in a torrential downpour, a young man tries to walk along a dirt road.
