In Girimunho we should breathe an atmosphere of magic and movement. In the midst of the sertão landscape, oniric occurrences that populate the imagination of its people blend with the prosaic situations in the lives of our characters. The present time revealing the traditions being transformed by the arrival of new times; by the younger ones standing their ground; by the presence of technology and the facilitation of communication. We intent to narrate their histories from the inside out and to show how beautiful is their believe in the coexistence of different point of views
