DESCRIPTION:In 1942 during World War II, in the desert of Northeastern Brazil, rural 
 Brazilian Ranulpho (Joao Miguel) hitches a ride with Johan (Peter Ketnath), 
 an aspirin salesman avoiding the German draft. Thus begins a friendship, 
 and a lyrical and engaging road movie, in which Johan trains Ranulpho to 
 drive his truck and to run the portable movie projector that shows aspirin 
 commercials to fascinated audiences in remote communities. Ranulpho desires 
 the lights of Rio, while Johan prefers to stay lost. But Brazil is about to 
 enter the war against the Axis, and Johan’s days of freedom may be 
 numbered. This vividly atmospheric story marks an impressive directorial 
 debut for Marcelo Gomes, who previously collaborated on the screenplays for 
 Madame Sata and current release Lower City.\n\nIn Portuguese with English 
 subtitles.\nWriters: Marcelo Gomes, Karim Ainouz. Director: Marcelo Gomes. 
 (Brazil 2005) 99 min. \n\nSan Francisco Art Institute is proud to present
