Fleeing the law after killing his boss, Manuel (Geraldo Del Rey) and his wife Rosa (Yoná Magalhães) head to a land where a religious cult, headed by a self-crowned saint. From there they fall in with peasant bandits and find themselves caught between god and the devil, as Glauber Rocha's story - which became the headline film of Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement - digs in.

New laws, passed by the country's military dictatorship, allowed tyranny and censorship to worsen, so this anarchic comedy was a bold response. Macunaíma is a shapeshifter born fully grown and destined to begin a magical quest which shows the many sides of a nation in tumult. |

An isolated young man finds liberation as a cam boy, daubed in paint and dancing in chatrooms. The discovery of a rival who uses the same techniques gives him a foe who soon becomes a friend, two bruised people united by a need to fight for who they are. |
