Written by Karolina Kotscho, and produced by Brazil’s Iona de Macedo and Kotscho and Spain’s Angelica Huete, the fiction feature debut of Daniel Augusto narrates Coelho’s spiritual journey, taking in a flirtation with death, escape from madness and making Brazilian rock and roll history. The buy is a typical purchase for Music Box, with a strong and highly eclectic line in international buys, ranging from auteurist drama (“Monsieur Lazhar”) to gross-out comedy (“Torrente 4”), breakout international hits (“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) and exquisite European arthouse, such as the Oscar-nominated “Ida.” “The Pilgrim” will make its international premiere at March’s Miami Intl.
