All narrative developments are so low-key and leisurely that for long stretches, snails seem to be the target audience.

Lovely road movie - watched it in Portuguese, may want to watch it again in French. But certainly no great desire to go to Senegal - really less developed than Brazil - though I'd love to eat their food - looked delicious in the meal scenes.

Omar Sy resulta ser de mis actores favoritos y en este roadtrip me volvió a enseñar por qué, es simplemente una película llena de significado, de mensaje y de calidad. Altamente recomendable.
