A Request

Ahhhh, my friends. Any and all of you. I have one request from The Lions Den. I give so much and ask so litte, no? ;-P

Go out and rent this movie: It's called Ó Paí, Ó. The film is a 2007 drama directed by Monique Gardenberg. It tells the history of some inhabitants living in the tenement house of the Pillory, in the Historical Center of Salvador, the last day of carnival.

This is the first movie that I have seen that captures the heart of this city. If you have any desire in your black little hearts to come visit me, see this first. You will wonder why everyone is talking so loudly and shouting all the time. You will wonder why people are always dancing and singing.

Try the foreign section of your video store. Or Netflix, or where ever. Just find a way.

Even if you shan't ever have the chance to visit, at least you can breath in a little bit of what I inhale everyday.
