O AMOR NATURAL is a documentary film about the erotic poetry of one
of the greatest Latin American poets of the 20th century, the Brazilian
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987).


The erotic poems of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a household name in
Brazil, remained unpublished during his lifetime, as he feared they
would be deemed pornographic. In this celebration of his poetry and
sensual vision, elderly residents of Rio read his poems and comment on
their graphic, voluptuous imagery with tremendous candor and
enthusiasm. "We're old. We're not dead!" interjects one reader, as
memories of stolen pleasures and bittersweet melancholy unfold. Says
filmmaker Heddy Honigmann: "The poems sometimes functioned as a kind of
corkscrew, sometimes as a glass of water, sometimes as a glass of
brandy."
