A Brazilian boy's entire life unfolds like a fever dream you'll never shake.
The memories of Guiga, from early childhood to young adulthood: his family, relatives, friends, fears, dreams and reality in a still provincial city of Salvador, Bahia, from the 50s to the 70s.
Cinematography
Heat-hazed Salvador streets that smell like sweat and saudade.
Acting
Three Guigas who somehow feel like one continuous soul.
Director
Edgard Navarro
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Edgard Navarro based this on his own Salvador upbringing; the three Guigas never met during filming to preserve each era's isolation.
The film captures pre-tourism Bahia before globalization flattened regional Brazilian cinema into favela poverty porn.
