A panorama of Brazilian popular music from the 60s and 70s through the musical group Novos Baianos. A retrospective of the community lifestyle adopted by its members and the influence inherited from singer João Gilberto.
"Cães" proposes a reflection around the socio-cultural heritage of the brazillian land structure, specifically the northeastern sertão, in which it has its support, in a system of land concentration, in the hands of a minority represented by the old rural oligarchies.
Inspired in "Os Sertões" by Euclides da Cunha, this film tells the saga of the last survivors of the Canudos war.
