Set
in the desert landscape Brazil's draught ridden sertao,
the film follows the northeastward journey of a city professional,
returning to his birth place after his father's death in order
to confront an archaic and mythical universe. Superstitions
and new age religious fanaticism converge as the super highway
catches up with the sertao.
The
Rocha Valley in the Brazilian Northeastern backlands is the
real and symbolic territory of "ARIDO MOVIE," a
movie that relates several stories using the same metaphor
of the indigenous goats that will follow any pathway in search
of water.
