Procuro teu auxílio para enterrar um homem
Taking place in 1870 in the still fledgling Brazilian Empire, Procuro teu auxílio para enterrar um homem tells the story of a mixed-race soldier, a cigana woman in mourning, and an elder bruxa on the tangled path they all walk. Exploring themes of sexuality, ethnicity and race and their implicit and explicit relationship to power, the film is a period piece that pierces to the core of issues that are deeply contemporary.
