Cafundó

João de Camargo (Lázaro Ramos) lived in a slave house in the 19th century. After being released from slavery he is dazzled by the changing world around him and desperate to live in it. The shock is so great that it causes João to hallucinate, believing to be able to see God. Blending his African roots with the glory of Judeo-Christian civilization, João comes to believe so deeply that he is able to heal that he actually ends up being able to do it, that’s when he becomes one of the Brazilian legends, the popular Old Black (Preto Velho).
