Ramao, illiterate and unemployed, feels destiny drawing him on an odyssey to Rio De Janeiro in pursuit of a job and a decent life.
Based on a true story, The Middle Of The World follows a family of seven on a journey 2,000 miles across the hinterlands of Brazil on bicycles. Along the way, director Vincente Amorim beautifully explores the inner dynamics of a family facing a great challenge. The Middle Of The World is an unimaginable road movie, both graceful and tender, about having the courage to pursue your dreams.
