Actor, poet and filmmaker, Tavinho Teixeira has become one of the leading voices in contemporary Brazilian cinema thanks to his previous film, Batguano (2014) and the unpredictable, anarchic and over the top Sol Alegria. A festive blasphemy and a singular compendium of formal inventiveness, this cinematographic carnival immerses us in a sensual, cathartic and, above all, contentious journey, in which the political advance of infamy in Brazil is countered by a stroke of delight, mockery and magic.
