Description:

Retelling an ancient Talmudic legend, Brazil tells the tale how the rabbinical student Jose Baruch loses his faith in God because he sees a child fall from a tree and dies. Set in the sun-soaked, abysmally poor country of Brazil, he searches for answers-working as a clerk for the corrupt and sexually exploitive Beauchamp in a textile factory; adopting an orphan off of the poverty stricken streets of Rio; meeting the orphanage running priest who reads Voltaire; and marrying a Roman Catholic textile worker whom he after facilitating her move to work as a maid. Baruch becomes Other, a lonely anti-hero lost in a world where greed rules but true goodness refuses to be stomped out.
