Raging Sun, Raging Sky is the story of two men that love each other without being attached to any spatial or temporal circumstance. They love each other trapped in an eternity dictated by the essence of their reason of being, which will take them on a journey that goes from the real world and into inevitable transcendence, meeting with other forces that will modify and enforce this vital act. The film confronts us with love as an epic ordeal in a continuous present, travelling from daily life and into a mythical fight in which loss and death are only stages of the sweet pain that helps to reach absolute happiness. |

Every year, for 20 years, a small riverside community in
the upper part of the Negro River celebrates The Dead Girl’s
Feast. The occasion is meant to honour the ingenuous miracle
that was performed by Santinho a long time ago, after the
dim episode of his mother’s suicide who received the blue
rags of a missing girl’s dress in his little hands, from the fangs
of a mongrel. The little girl was never found, but her
remains, symbolized in the bloodstained dress rags, became
sacred and were worshiped. The party evolved, indifferent
to the pain and rebelliousness of the dead girl’s brother,
Tadeu. Now, the inhabitants of nearby Amazon villages visit
the small town on the holy day to worship the dead girl, pray
and beg. They anxiously wait for the girl’s “revelations”, |
