Sopro

«Sopro» [Breath] is a creative documentary about human existence and the mysteries of life and death, seen in the everyday life of a rural community where families have lived for years, almost completely isolated from contact with the outside world. It is an observation of the daily routine in a small, remote village in Brazil’s interior, near the Ibitipoca State Park in the state of Minas Gerais.  The region’s progress and growing tourism have not yet found the village, and farm families attempt to subsist and preserve the old habits and customs threatened by today’s globalized world. In this faraway place, the inhabitants survive on subsistence farming and the breeding of cows, pigs and chickens.  They do some crafts and keep up centuries-old traditions of inland rural life.
