"That digression business got on my nerves. I don't know. The trouble with me is, I like it when somebody digresses. It's more interesting and all. ..... What I mean is, lots of time you don't know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn't interest you most." - Holden Caulfield, Catcher in the Rye (J D Salinger)

Cinema, Aspirinas e Urubus (2005)
IMDB Synopsis:
In 1942, the lonely German Johann travels through the arid roads in the country of the Northeast of Brazil in his truck selling aspirins in small villages, using advertisement movies to promote the medicine. He meets the drifter Ranulpho, who intends to go to Rio de Janeiro seeking a better life, and gives a ride to the man. While traveling together, they develop a close friendship, but on 31 August 1942, Brazil declares war to Germany and Johann has to decide if he should return to his home country and fight in the war, or stay in Brazil in a concentration camp; but the option of moving to Amazonas with the migrants of the drought seems to be feasible.
Language:
German/Portuguese
My opinion:
A tad too slow and monotonous at times, but nice.
