Boy And The World

Recommended for ages 8 and up

Enter the world of Cuca, a small boy growing up in a simple family in the idyllic Brazilian countryside. Cuca's playful, carefree existence is thrown for a loop when his father quits the rural homestead for the city so that he may provide for his family. Cuca thus embarks on a journey to find his father. As Cuca explores Brazil further, the canvas of THE BOY AND THE WORLD becomes busier and brighter and the sound track becomes fuller and grander, expanding from a mere tune on the flute to a complete celebration of the sounds of Carnival... As the music swells, so too does animation expand into a dazzling palette whose vibrant colors jump off the screen. This new world is marked by industrialization and technology... An imaginatively rendered picture of modernity as seen through the eyes of a child.
