High in the hills of Brazil’s remote northeast, the village of Toritama is a microcosm of relentless capitalism. Where workers once toiled night and day in one big bluejeans factory, now each have their own little jeans factory... where they toil night and day. Turning out more than 20 million pairs of jeans a year, the denizens of Toritama work non-stop hours, proud to be the masters of their own time. But are they? And is it worth it? These are the questions at the center of acclaimed director Marcelo Gomes’ sly portrait of entrepreneurialism run amok in the Brazilian countryside.
