The Poet who become a Bird

A Menina e a Árvore

"An animation inspired by the poems of Manoel de Barros"

Overview

After her grandfather's death, Joana returns to the farm where she spent her vacations in the paradisiacal Brazilian Pantanal in search of the greatest inheritance that the wise old man could leave her: a manuscript with his most precious poems. When she comes across the gate that gives access to her enchanted world, the girl realizes that the place of her most beautiful childhood memories has been consumed by fire. Hope shines again in Joana's heart when her grandfather returns in the form of a little bird and takes her on a playful and fantastic journey back to this cozy place.
