Their use of multiple formats-including digital video, Super 8, and 35-millimeter slides-gives the movie the texture of a worn scrapbook.

José Renato is sent out on a solitary expedition to the wilds of northeastern Brazil in order to survey possible routes for a canal that will connect the area to civilization. But, as the trip progresses, it becomes clear that Renato shares with these wild spaces a transfixing and elemental sense of emptiness, abandonment, and isolation.

What are critics saying?
The visual collage retains a consistent melancholy, resulting in an experience that's both deeply affecting and-since José never actually appears on-camera-utterly detached.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Coming in at a tight 75 minutes, this strikingly original travelogue glides on the lovely lilt of Mr. Santos's Portuguese narration.
Boxoffice Magazine by John P. McCarthy
Has a stirring elemental feel and constitutes filmmaking at its most basic and transfixing.
