While the country is under the yoke of a military junta and corrupt priests preach the apocalypse, a lawless, eccentric couple- a kind of Bonnie and Clyde with their son and daughter - trek through the Brazilian interior. Their first aim is to deliver a consignment of weapons to a group of militant nuns who have withdrawn to the jungle, living off the income from their cannabis plantation. —Movie Reviews

7/10

Funny, Hallucinating, Subversive.

Blending Avant-Garde, absurdist humor, political commentary and surrealism, director Tavinho Teixeira's hallucinating road movie introduces a very dysfunctional family as representations of an anarchist society battling the system, the counterculture. In a current disturbingly apocalyptic era, they steal from corrupt pastors, and join a rebel gang of armed nuns in a secured remote area, where they plan strategies for a war, while experiencing drugs, orgies, fetishes, cleansing and connections to the unknown. Filled with sharp dialogue addressing political, social and sexual taboos, it's a madly inventive, explicit, subversive and extravagant comedy about an out-of-control land of power, sex liberation, corruption and fanaticism.
