Summary:
Based on a true story, The Middle of the World is the story of a couple and their five children -- ages ranging from 6 months to 14 years old -- as they travel 3,200 km by bicycle to chase a dream. Romao, an illiterate and unemployed truck driver, and his wife Rose, leave the State of Paraiba in Brazil, and over the course of six months, travel across five states to reach Rio de Janeiro, in a quest for a job and a decent life.
