Macunaima
Born a fully grown black man in a village deep within the Brazilian jungle, Macunaíma is magically transformed into a white man before he undertakes an adventure-filled journey to the city of São Paulo. In the metropolis, he becomes something of a dandy, falling for Ci, a revolutionary who dies in an accidental bombing. After robbing a ruthless industrialist, Macunaíma returns to his village, where he finds his newly acquired knowledge and possessions of little use.
