Cafundó is 2005 Brazilian historical drama film written and directed by Paulo Betti and Clóvis Bueno and starring Lázaro Ramos.

João takes his mother to Cafundó, the bastion of Afro-American religion in the vicinity.

Only after an unhappy marriage with Rosário and his mother's demise, João has a series of visions and decides to work as a spiritual leader for Sorocaba.

In 1906, he builds a church with help from Cirino and begins to preach his syncretic faith, which is a blend of Orisha worship, veneration of Catholic saints, and eventually Kardecist spiritism.

To reconstruct the atmosphere of the 19th century, the natural scenery of Ponta Grossa and historic buildings of Lapa, Paranaguá and Antonina were chosen as filming locations.
