BR/GE/SP 2011, 90 min, German subtitles

Following the death of her husband, the 81-year-old Bastú is haunted by mysterious apparitions which she interprets as signs from the deceased. But she remains strong: “I’ve been everywhere and now I fear nothing anymore.” Bastú decides to take his belongings away to his brother’s village. A poetic-cum-philosophical portrait of the Sertão, its myths and beauties, with powerful imagery and extraordinary lay actors.
