Summary:
In this award-winning and hauntingly melancholic film, geologist José Renato travels to Sertão, an isolated region in Northeastern Brazil, to assess possible routes for a canal. For many, the canal will be a source of hope, but for those living on its direct course it only means requisitions, departure, and loss. As the journey progresses through impressionistic landscapes, the desolation of the surroundings mirrors Renato's own life, making the trip increasingly difficult. His geological research is slowly pervaded by a sensation of groundlessness, an incessant pining for his ex-wife, and a yearning to go home. Marcelo Gomez and Karim Aïnouz (Madame Sata) travel across the desolate landscape of modern-day Brazil's interior. A genuine experiment in narrative and form, I Travel Because I Have To ... features a mix of formats - Super 8, DV, still photographs - with the resulting feel of an intimate travel diary.
