Leandro Henrique and his friends are part of a group of physicists, biologists, geologists and vets called Haunt Hunters Association. They spend most of their time tracking down well known hauntings from the historical cities of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Or at least that's what they tell the local newspaper. The Film follows this group of professionals (or friends) as they unravel the stories and local myths of a town well known for its violent past of slavery, gold mine accidents and strange midnight attacks on local cattle. It is a study on the limits of the search for the truth and how can we cross this border between life, death and popular fiction without being called a lunatic.

A poetic essay that seeks the infant and haunted universe of Espindola family. Through the central figure of a well, the film is thrown into the uncertainties of the childhood memories, in a sharp decrease of the imaginary. The word that is made in belief, in a universe in which the figure of ox becomes mystical.

The FISDN present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
