All territories, except Brazil and Portugal FILMING LOCATION: Northeast Brazil DEVELOPMENT PHASE: Distribution SHOOTING PERIOD: February to April 2014 Iremar works at the Vaquejadas, a traditional rodeo in the north east of Brazil where two men on horseback try bring down a bull by grabbing its tail. It’s dusty and back-breaking work, but Iremar is a natural ‘Vaqueiro’ feeding, prepping and taking care of the bulls. Home is the truck used to transport the animals from show to show

which he shares with his co-workers; Galega, an exotic dancer, truck driver and mother to her spirited and cheeky daughter Cacá, and Zé, his rotund compadre in the bull pen.

Together they form a makeshift but closeknit family. But Brazil and the Northeast are changing and the region’s booming clothing industry has stirred new ambitions in Iremar.

Swinging from his hammock in the back of the truck, his head is filled with dreams of pattern cutting, sequins and exquisite fabrics as he mentally assembles his latest sexy fashion designs.

In life, poor Raimundo da Silva never did anything that could be considered “special” in his short 20-year existance. In death, however, he would prove to be a whole different story.

When his corpse ends up donated to a medical school anatomy lab, he receives the code M8 and is assigned to first-year student Mauricio.

Mauricio, the only black student in his class, unexpectedly decides to give his object of study a proper burial. Sent to his home town for burial – a small, remote village in the heart of the country – Raimundo/M8 is then mistaken for a miracle by the superstitious, isolated community when he “magically” shows no sign of decomposition in spite of being dead for over a year.
