More a collection of striking seaside images -- men fishing against the sun, Candomblé rituals, capoeira fights -- than actually a fully rewarding narrative feature -- basically an educated black man (an explosive Pitanga) leaving Salvador to find love in his homeland and trying to free the community from what he perceives as mysticism. Lots of singing, dancing, provocative shots of a naked woman bathing in the ocean and some of the visual flair and intensity Glauber would show in future films.

Em honra do povo do nordeste, nosso maior cineasta nordestino. Esse filme tem um amalgama tão inteligente entre marxismo brechtiano e cultura baiana de raiz iorubá que pode parecer confuso como teoria mas que é belamente representado pelo Exu materialista-histórico de Antonio Pitanga. Box Versátil Coleção Glauber Rocha Fase 1
