In his inimitable lyrical manner, Honigmann, a five-minute classic of Dutch documentaries, creates a portrait of today's Brazil. The mediator in the matter of portraiture is also a classic, but already of Brazilian literature, the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade. His frankly erotic poems become the key to understanding the country for the director. And as a result, Honigmann succeeds in this image of the Brazilian society and culture, which seems to know no boundaries between spirit and body.
