Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures

Friendship between men are usually simple and uncomplicated. Each giving and taking what the other has to offer. The same goes for the unusual friendship formed on a road trip across the Brazilian countryside between Johann (Peter Ketnath) and Ranulpho (João Miguel). Johann has fled his German motherland to get away from a war he does not want to fight. Now he wanders around Brazil in a truck selling the "magic" drug called aspirin. Ranulpho hitch hikes with him on the road that he hopes will end in Rio. The film like their friendship is simple but yet fulfilling.
