The Fever (12A)

Born and raised as a member of the Desana tribe in the Amazon rainforest, fortysomething security guard Manaus has lived and worked in the city for 20 years. He shares a home with his youngest daughter, Vanessa, whose job as a nurse will soon take her to Brasilia to study medicine. As the days tick by until Vanessa's departure, Manaus is struck down with a powerful fever, which causes him to fall asleep at work at the cargo port.
