In 1960s Brazil, a construction crew is hard at work building a highway deep in the heart of the desert. A military coup in the capital leaves the men abandoned literally in the middle of nowhere. With a good stock of provisions and frequent visits from the local prostitutes, the men are coping just fine. Soon Juliao, an indigenous Indian, arrives. He teaches them his culture’s worship of the meteorites. The workers come to believe fate has abandoned them in a deeply spiritual place and thus the community of Meteoro is born. In a place of good humor, gentle anarchy and free love, the construction crew no longer wishes to be governed and thoughts of returning home soon fade, until one day, the government reappears bringing dark political motives to the men’s makeshift paradise. “Meteoro,” is a truly charming film featuring an international ensemble cast that will have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face.
