The setting is 1942 in Brazil and the image-quality looks like it was made 30 years ago, yet it was made in 2005!

The story is about a young German man (Johann) who escaped from Germany during the buildup to the war and is trying to have a life as an aspirin-salesman. He meets Ranulpho on the road and he becomes his assistent. As they travel the countryside we get to know both of them better and better, as well as the realities of the poor parts of Brazil.

This is a very good movie that shows you the psychology of the harshness of war (even when it's far away), of starting a new life, friendship, pain and never giving up.
