About This Movie

Acordar do Dia presents a unique glimpse into the daily lives of the Tikmu'un - Maxakali people. The film’s atmosphere is thick with the morning fog, the scent of coffee, and the warmth of communal living. The pacing is slow, allowing viewers to soak in the serene yet contrasting world of this indigenous village against the backdrop of a bustling city market. There’s a deliberate clash of lives – traditional and modern – that unfolds as they travel in the back of a truck, a practical framing device that adds authenticity. The cinematography captures both the beauty and the struggle of their existence, making it a compelling study of identity and resilience without overt dramatization.
