Cipriano e a Morte de Cipriano (2023)
Old man Cipriano is dead. His body, however, remains among the living due to a pact with Death. The pact has come to an end. In this film, it is Cipriano's soul that narrates the last events, and this narrative establishes an arc constructed in the director's own study with the raw material filmed in S-16mm, after more than 20 years of filming. Life and death. Tales, dreams and religions. A journey into the Latin American imagination through a long pilgrimage through the backlands of Piauí.
Director: Douglas Machado
