BATALHA NAVAL
(Battle ship)
(16 mm, 10 min, color, 1992)
A disaster, the collapse of a bridge, is followed by the greatest disaster of all: human stupidity. This bridge was the link between two important agricultural production towns. For two years, the crossing had to be made by boat because no government department would do anything about it.
