El Dorado, the myth and mirage of the golden man, still attracts desperados and starvelings into the Amazonian jungle. Wild men who go about their search for the golden treasure as if in a dream, ecstatically and with brute force. This is a story of likeable crackpots and underhanded cutthroats, of miserable drudgery, desperate lust for life and a game that others always win in the end. An Indio who loves Campari and India, a former circus princess, become friends and eke out a living together. They make the dangerous journey from the gold fields deep in the jungle to the concrete jungle of São Paulo. ‘Goldland’ mixes fact and fiction, the authenticity of the characters and places and a made-up story. This comes together in a unified whole of reality and poetry.
