Where Can I Get Lost?

“When you get lost,” says Rebecca Solnit, “you find yourself in a world that is larger than the one you know.” For some, this is a nightmare. For others, it is a promise. This film, shot in Bahia (Brazil), reflects on different modes of getting lost: in the wilderness, in madness, in the ecstasies of love and love making. Loo sing oneself, the filmmaker finds, is a script that is congenial to misfits, heretics, perverts: people in need of a world that is larger than the one they know.
