Cafi

From the Agreste to the sea, the Capibaribe River inspires the poetry of João Cabral de Melo Neto and the dance of Deborah Colker. This documentary is a road movie in which performance, the body, and poetry fuel a journey that begins at the river’s source and flows out to the open sea, moving between the arid landscape and the ocean, between devastation and what endures.

This film shines a light at the story of Jards Macalé, polemic artist and controversial character of Brazilian culture over the last four decades. Author of songs such as "Vapor Barato" and "Movimento dos Barcos", a partner in crime of poet Waly Salomão, guitar player and songwriter for Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso, actor and author of soundtracks in Nelson Pereira dos Santos' films, a personal friend of visual artists Lygia Clarke and Hélio Oiticica, but, first and foremost, someone who dreams of seeing the word "love" in the Brazilian flag.

Lô Borges works on an album of new songs while traveling around Brazil on a tour that brings back the repertoire he composed in 1972 for Clube da Esquina.
