Through the Arc of the Rain Forest

Description

A freewheeling black comedy bound up in cultural confusion, political insanity, and environmental catastrophe.

A Japanese man with a ball floating six inches in front of his head, an American ceo with three arms, and a Brazilian peasant who discovers the art of healing by tickling one’s earlobe rise to the heights of wealth and fame before arriving at disasters-both personal and ecological–that destroy the rain forest and all the birds of Brazil.
