Transparent Roads

Strade Trasparenti · Feature documentary

The physical sensation of a bus journey becomes a portrait of Brazil in motion.

Transparent Roads stays at the margins: landscapes through windows, roadside restaurants and encounters with ordinary people. Its realism becomes dreamlike, overturning familiar stereotypes through a patient attention to travel, testimony and passing space. An original score by European and American musicians reinforces the images’ tactile power.
