Passage - Roads, memories, and a life retraced

In this reflective road movie, Libério sets out once again along Brazil's highways, retracing a journey filmed eight years earlier. The documentary captures more than changing scenery—it becomes an exploration of how time reshapes memory, perception, and purpose.

Through the lens of personal footage and evolving introspection, the film invites viewers to consider how travel can serve as both physical movement and emotional reckoning. As Brazil itself continues to transform, the road becomes a metaphor for both distance and return.
