Straddling between fiction and documentary, ‘I Travel Because I Have To, I Come Back Because I Love You’ is formally a road movie, but in content, it is a long elegy on love, the loss of love, loneliness, regeneration, search for self, and the loss of one’s sense of self in the search. A geologist is dispatched on an official mission to Sertão, a far-flung region in the north east of Brazil, to survey water sources and study the proposed map for water canalizations. 

Winner of Paris Brazilian Film Festival Jury Award for Best Film and Best Actor (2010) and SESC Film Festival, Brazil Critics Award for Best Film (2011).
