Letters from Ourinhos
Director Joel Yamaji
Countries Brazil
Duration 43 min
Synopsis
In Ourinhos, a small town in Brazil, two radio broadcasters - one from the 40's and other at the present time - evoke, in their radio programms, the imaginarium of a city in which past and present go hand in hand: red dirt streets, wood warehouses, immigrants both in country and at downtown, rail and railwaymen, coffee yards are mixtured to the contemporary world. Documented in a poetical way, it shows among the characters - elderly and adolescent people - a young ladie who left the country, bur suddenly, feels like returning. As soundtrack, compositors and interpreters born and raised at the town, who also left to persue their dreams. As guests, teachers, poets and locals.
