This epic Brazilian film was based on the equally epic novel by Antonio Callado. Set between 1954 and 1964, the film's focus is the saga of Jesuit priest Taumaturgo Ferreira. Fed up with civilization, Ferreira ventures deep into Amazon country to live with and work among the Xingu Indians. The most expensive Brazilian production up to its time, Kuarup was well worth every penny. Upon its international release, Kuarup was often coupled with an impressive "the making of..." documentary. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this uneven drama, two men erroneously accused of a homosexual relationship suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune for no reason at all. Saul (Pedro Wayne) and Raul (Beto Ruas) are lonely souls who find a mutual companionship while surrounded by the shark-infested ambience of their office colleagues. The two men try to survive as best they can, but they ultimately have no control over their future and none over their job security either.
