Transcript

Behind a green screen, a foreigner finds his way in an enchanting - and yet turbulent - Brazil. Where the streets are a stage for politics, art and affection, a gringo can only watch. The result is a mixtape-portrait on modern day Brazil seen through the eyes of the visitor.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.680
Good morning, São Paulo.
- Good morning.

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.280
Are you ready?

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.840
...the Brazilian political crisis
is a very important issue, essential...

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.560
Hello, Teresa?

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.880
How is it going, Teresa?

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.480
How are you, honey?
Are you busy?

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:19.840
I'm here with someone from Holland

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:23.640
who wants to take
a picture of me right here, down town.

00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.600
Wait a second, don't hang up.
He needs to take...

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.240
No... Hold on, Teresa!

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.000
There's a lady with the man from Holland
and guess what?

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:38.160
She wants the image,
the subject of the shoot...

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.120
to be a conversation that is taking place.

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.680
Yeah.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.040
No! I know, Teresa...

00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:08.080
DILMA OUT!

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:10.760
Leave a message after the beep...

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.640
This painting here represents

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.840
the immigrants and slaves
who were brought here.

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.800
Read the signs...
Please do not touch the art works.

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.000
Here, class.
Everyone please take a sit over here.

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:38.160
Let's take a look
at this painting here.

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:43.880
Try and relate these images
and figures with one another

00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:47.240
and come up
with a story of your own.

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.480
For example,
this scene here is quite... insinuating.

00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.160
There's a lot going on here.

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:06.120
She doesn't seem to be
much older than you.

00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:10.840
Taking into consideration the context,
she must be around 15 or 16 years old.

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:24.880
How about visiting our store today?

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:27.320
It's Dilma's fault I'm here!

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.600
Clothing, sneakers, covers,
screen protectors, portable chargers.

00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.480
All cell phone covers and accessories.

00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:38.320
...organised crime
perpetrated by politicians

00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:42.560
that has been instituted
and is now deeply rooted

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:45.880
in all government spheres

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.760
and all organizations

00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:54.760
that happen to still hold
some power in this country,

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.800
you are not going to have it easy.

00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.080
You are no longer going to rob
from the Brazilian people!

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.920
I don't understand

00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:50.840
The two sides of me that

00:06:51.200 --> 00:06:53.920
Draw me to you

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.880
The world is made of paper

00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:07.120
Only the good go to heaven

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:11.720
I don't know about that

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.240
I haven't booked my place

00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:24.760
This winding road Is born out of...

00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:40.240
Draw me to you...

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.480
This winding road

00:07:49.880 --> 00:07:52.600
Is born out of disillusion

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.680
A journey I'm on without you...

00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:02.040
I make it through wild terrain

00:08:02.640 --> 00:08:05.560
I have two dumb sides to myself

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:07.680
That yearn to see you

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:36.120
The Senate has approved
55 votes for and 22 against

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.920
the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff from
the office of President of the Republic

00:08:41.160 --> 00:08:43.440
for up to 180 days

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.480
to be tried on the charges
of violating fiscal responsibility.

00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.760
First of all, I would like to say
under no circumstance

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:54.040
will I take part in this farce!

00:08:54.400 --> 00:08:57.080
On behalf of the rights
of the LGBT community,

00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.800
the black people
being murdered in the suburbs,

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:01.640
cultural workers,

00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:04.040
the homeless, the landless,

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.040
I vote No to the coup!

00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:08.880
Take that, you thugs!

00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:32.040
Running, running, running

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.600
Running to catch
the quarter past six underground

00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:37.560
And avoid sparing that kid some change

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.040
The rush to blend into São Paulo's rat race

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.880
The city of São Paulo
with her impressive skyscrapers

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:45.600
All her constellations

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.520
All her farces

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:50.000
From her buildings
That mantle the sky

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:57.600
And her bridges that don't connect anyone
But violent cars

00:09:58.760 --> 00:09:59.960
Running, running, running

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.600
To catch the bus
And not risk getting assaulted

00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:05.360
And not miss out on the daily heist

00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:09.880
Of peace, hope, happiness

00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.720
Who stole our underground memory?

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.120
We're being robbed daily
A reflection of our incomprehension

00:10:19.640 --> 00:10:22.840
Running, running, running
Tic toc, tic toc, tic toc

00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:25.320
Something's about to explode

00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:27.200
Explosion

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.800
Leave a message after the beep.
