Sinopsis: Andarilho cuenta la historia de tres vagabundos solitarios que recorren diversas rutas en distintas calles del Nordeste de Minas Gerais. El filme establece una relación entre el acto de caminar y pensar, mostrando la vida como un lugar de tránsito. The second installment in a planned nonfiction trilogy by Brazilian director Cao Guimaraes that meditates on the subject of loneliness (the successor to his 2004 Soul of the Bone), the documentary Drifter finds Guimaraes undertaking a journey to the state of Minas Gerais in northeastern Brazil, where he and his small crew and encounter three travelers on federal roads. Paulão, Valdemar and Nercino are eminently lonely and disenfranchised - wandering around aimlessly, seemingly without purpose, their intelligence and cognizance uncertain.

their shared laconic qualities become overtly apparent, but occasional
breaks in the silence - in which the men expostulate on their inherent
values, quirky little experiences from their past, their animistic
spiritual beliefs and various other disparate subjects - provide
invaluable insights into each wanderer. As might be expected, the film
as a whole waxes extremely understated and subdued, crafted by a
filmmaker who resists overt explanation or interpretation.
