Unemployed
truck driver Wagner Moura decides that to make 300 USD a month he'd
travel all 2,000 miles to Rio; then, with wife Cláudia Abreu [also in THE
MAN OF THE YEAR] and five kids in tow, he goes for it – by bicycle!
Commercial and music video director Amorim's first feature is a
road-movie panorama of Brazil, spiced with familial conflicts. (Abreu's
singing makes more money than Moura's odd jobs; son Ravi Ramos Lacerda
has coming-of-age issues.) Based on a true story.
Wagner Moura, un camionero desempleado, decide que para ganarse 300
dólares al mes viajaría los 3.000 y tantos kilómetros hasta Rio de
Janeiro. Acompañado por su esposa Cláudia Abreu (también de O HOMEM DO
ANO) y sus cinco hijos, se atreve hacerlo... en bicicleta! Este primer
largometraje del director de comerciales y videos musicales Amorim ofrece
vistas panorámicas de Brasil y conflictos familiares. (Abreu se gana más
como cantante que Moura; el hijo Ravi Ramos Lacerda sufre problemas de la
adolescencia.) Basada en una historia verdadera.
