À Beira do Caminho is a 2012 Brazilian drama film directed by Breno Silveira, starring João Miguel, Ângelo Antônio, Dira Paes, Vinícius Nascimento, and Ludmila Rosa. The title of the film is a reference to the 1969 popular song "Sentado à Beira do Caminho" by Erasmo Carlos.[1]

Plot

João, a truck driver, leaves his hometown and travels across the country. On one of his trips, he discovers a boy, Duda, hidden in his truck; the child, who has no mother, is in search of his father. João reluctantly agrees to take him to the nearest city, and ends up forming a friendship with him.
