Christmas Goat

This short film follows Pelé, a retired nurse who looks back on his time as a Mateus in the century-old Bumba Meu Boi group, Boi Tira-Teima. As he builds a new boi for the festival, he revisits the defining moments of his journey as a performer, carnival artist, and son of Mestre Gerson, the group’s former patriarch. The film explores how the way we carry our memories of the past shapes who we become in the present.

A strange figure from the night hires some prostitutes to fulfill their fantasies. In parallel, a hustler wanders through the night to perform a mysterious task. Not everything is what it seems to be in the underworld of Recife.

No measure of hellfire preaching can quell the boisterous and bawdy passions of Maracatu, an Afro-Brazilian burlesque carnival tradition with roots in slavery that takes place in the northeast state of Pernambuco. As the Falstaffian character Tiao, Valmir do Coco leads a nonprofessional cast of authentic Maracatu practitioners in a tale told through dance, music, and the supernatural, set in the sugarcane fields outside Recife.

The film depicts Bruno's encounter with an old flame at the Recife airport. He then recalls the moments spent with Alice during a carnival, and his feelings start to resurface. But could that passion have been just a creation of his mind?
