Overview
Filmmaker Hare Brasil follows painter, public speaker and street artist Eduardo Marinho as they hit the road aboard Celestina, a worn-down and faulty Volkswagen van, for a trip across Brazil and Uruguay, where Marinho is set to give a lecture at a local University. They cross over 5000 kilometers and stop by numerous cities following an everything goes approach, with Marinho selling his work, talking to people and sharing his thoughts on life, society and everything else.
