Heat-hazed Salvador streets that smell like sweat and saudade.

Three Guigas who somehow feel like one continuous soul.
Director
Edgard Navarro
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Edgard Navarro based this on his own Salvador upbringing; the three Guigas never met during filming to preserve each era's isolation.
The film captures pre-tourism Bahia before globalization flattened regional Brazilian cinema into favela poverty porn.
