In 1969, the Jornal do Brasil, one of Brazil’s main daily newspapers, sent a reporter to the town of Carrapateira, in the interior Paraíba, to see how the population of the country’s poorest municipality, would react to the first Man on the Moon. At that time, Nasa’s budget for the enterprise was equivalent to the Carrapateira town hall budget over a period of 33,330 years. Electricity was installed that same year. To this day, Carrapateira has no sewage system or bank. Teacher Leonília Pereira has used the conquest of the moon as a topic for school essays each year since 1969. The film uses romance and humor to show the conquest of space as a counterpoint to the dreams of progress and development of a small town at the end of the earth.
