Traffic
1998Young Jesus is taken on a vacation by his parents (Rita Blanco, Adriano Luz) to a deserted beach resort.

Others characters intersecting here include an alcoholic actress, a philandering banker, a general trafficking in arms, priests who close their church and head north as hitchhikers, politicians who watch an all-girl production of Julius Caesar, and beggars who recite a children's story in a huge heap of trash.
