Synopsis: Shirley (de Morais) and Jeison (dos Santos) work in a plantage. They love each other and do not think much about their future. When a sound hunter passes by and then away, this changes.
Review: The story does not start so bad with the couple of plantage workers and the sound hunter. But as soon as this dies, there is no explicit story. One just imagines that the lover Jeison is disturbed by the dead body. All the others are indifferent. The dialogues are very rare. Images of nature and plantation work are beautifully composed and show an excellent image quality, possibly more than 25 images per second. The sounds have been recorded like the wind hunter did, with a microphone and recomposed so that it sounds very uncluttered. I loved these pictures of people climbing trees, of water streams and drops, of living forest.
