Neon Bull (2016)

In the rugged landscapes of North East Brazil, Iremar toils under the scorching sun at the Vaquejadas, a traditional rodeo where men on horseback test their mettle against the raw strength of bulls. His home is a humble truck, a traveling vessel that carries the majestic beasts from one adrenaline-fueled show to another. Amid the dust and commotion, Iremar is a natural-born vaqueiro, dedicating himself to feeding, prepping, and nurturing the bulls with an effortless knack. Sharing this nomadic life are his makeshift family; Galega, a vibrant exotic dancer and tenacious truck driver, who juggles the dual responsibilities of her profession and motherhood to her cheeky daughter, Cacá, and Zé, his rotund companion in the bull pen, a testament to their shared hardy existence. Together, they form an unconventional yet tightly-knit family, their lives intertwined in this grueling yet captivating spectacle. But beneath Iremar's rough exterior, a dream brews. Rocking gently in his hammock in the back of the truck, his mind is a whirlwind of vibrant sequins and exquisite fabrics, his heart pulsating with the rhythm of the Northeast's burgeoning clothing industry. As the region evolves, so do his ambitions, his thoughts brimming with fashion designs that blend raw sensuality with a touch of the exotic. Amid the dust of the rodeo and the roar of the bulls, Iremar aspires to fashion a future as daring and vibrant as his dreams.
