Description
A double-trailer rig winds its way slowly through the Brazilian
countryside. Zeca, an old-fashioned, macho truck driver decides to break
up with his wife. As he drives along, his niece ridicules his sexist
ways. Slowride is an anti-adventure travel story created through mixing
audio transcriptions of a real truck ride with fictional and expository
passages. Inspired by Sam Miller’s "Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity", it
finds the humor in mundane events and offers a window into Brazil, a
country struggling to reconcile the old with the new.
