Little Cuca lives in a world bet­ween colorful child­hood memo­ries and a cold, tech­no­lo­gi­cal rea­li­ty. When his father sud­den­ly dis­ap­pears, he sets off alo­ne on a search – with a suit­ca­se, a fami­ly pho­to and a lot of cou­ra­ge. His jour­ney takes him through jungles, plan­ta­ti­ons, fave­las and fac­to­ries. In bright colors, with rhyth­mic sounds and sur­pri­sing images, the film tells of ama­ze­ment, loss, fin­ding again – and of how a child under­stands the world. Almost wit­hout dia­log, the film crea­tes a lan­guage bey­ond words – about explo­ita­ti­on and envi­ron­men­tal des­truc­tion, but also about joy, love and magic. (DA)
