      The Trump from Minas Gerais

      Amusing adventures of writer Fernando Sabino's fantastic realism character Geraldo Viramundo around Minas Gerais States. While fitting nowhere (seen as crazy, stupid or inconvenient, despite his good intentions), he goes and amazes everywhere (from seminary to asylum and the army). It is as if Charlie the Trump ate cheese bread and dulce de leche (iconic dishes from Minas Gerais).
