 Saneamento básico (Basic Sanitation, The Movie)
The film unfolds as a
family pulls together limited resources and zero knowledge of film
making to create a ten-minute short. Completion of the film will
allow the family, and thus the town, the grant money to eventually
complete the sewage project.
A humorously clever illustration
of survival, when all expenses are compared to "how many bags of
cement" can be bought, Furtado casts a convincing lot of actors
all of whom you fall in love with. If you can control your laughter
at the haughtiness of unpredictability, then you will grip the
serious undercurrent present in this film.
