brazilian boy growth script

The first Brazilian animated feature I saw, the crayons and colored pencils are full of childlike innocence, but the story is a heartbreaking boy's growth journey. The world that the boy experienced is almost a true portrayal of the social changes in Brazil. How a developing country with mainly agriculture has changed its face under the squeeze of foreign capital, especially the part where the drawing paper is set on fire. Behind it is the wanton deforestation and environmental pollution. Real image, shocking. The kind-hearted young people and old men who once helped boys are actually grown-up boys. This setting reminds me of Yuasa Masaki's "Dream Machine". At the end of the film, the grown-up boy sets off again. Is the reincarnation of life still a cold reality for this child? Or can he find the beautiful melody hidden in the heart of this nation? I hope it's the latter.

The picture of the whole animation feels relatively simple, sometimes there are only a few lines, just a fragment.
