Narradores de Javé (The Storytellers) is a 2003 Brazilian film by Eliane Caffé.

Plot

[edit]

A small and poor community called Javé is under threat of being flooded by a planned dam, and believe that the only way to prevent this is to prove the town's historical value. As the inhabitants are illiterate, they ask Antônio Biá for help, a man who has been ostracized ever since it was discovered that he had sent out libellous letters as a way to keep his job in the town's little-used post office. He now has the task of documenting people's memories of how the town began, and finds each inhabitant has their own version.
