Cold Tropics
Recife Frio
2009 · 0h 25m · Comedy, Science Fiction · Brazil · Rated 10 (BR)
In tropical Recife, in northeastern Brazil, temperatures drop to impossible lows and the inhabitants have to adapt. This 'mockumentary' gradually turns critical, looking at the climate, urban development and social interaction from every angle. Does a ray of sun pierce the clouds, after all?
