description About

Baderna is a city in a countryside region of Brazil. Founded in 1871, it was built by black enslaved people and today it remains emancipated from the Brazilian state. With its mundane conflicts and its historical resistance, the city also maintains an intense relationship with nature. The movie narrates the day when Baderna receives 'Obaluaê', the 'Orixá' lord of the Earth, in a search for the cure of the 21st century.
