What it’s about. Macunaïma, « héros sans caractère », évolue avec désinvolture à travers le pays en changeant de couleur. Né noir d’une mère indienne, il devient blanc sous une pluie magique. Il rencontre des personnages mythologiques et des acteurs de luttes politiques urbaines, tels qu’une guerrillera et un grand patron transmuté en géant cannibale. Macunaíma met en scène le face-à-face problématique entre la culture noire et la culture blanche, tandis que la culture indienne n'est jamais très loin.
