Natali Assunção

Each person is a Carnival and Marina knows which one she is. On the slopes of Olinda she seeks the ecstasy of carnival revelry, the music, the shouting, the heat, the joy, the love. Her journey is seen through the eyes of ten different characters, and for each of them a director lends their artistic view. But in the midst of so many people, marching bands, encounters and misencounters, how can we find Carnival?

The world ends tomorrow, nothing has changed around here.

Malunguinho was the leader of the Catucá quilombo, in the 19th century. Despite being killed in 1835, he is worshiped to this day by followers of Jurema Sagrada, an indigenous-based religion with African influences of Northeast Brazil.
