The construction of a community goes far beyond its erected walls and masonry bricks: it lies in the everyday invention of the commonplace, of life shared in its struggles and victories. Stemming from this premise, this debut feature film (by the directors of Na Missão com Kadu) documents the daily life of the urban occupation Eliana Silva, in the city of Belo Horizonte, on the eve of the 2018 elections. Seen from the inside, the hard-won territory becomes a protagonist as much as its residents, as they talk about political activism, companionship, love. Along with the records and personal testimonies is the (re)invention of subjectivity through art, going up against the totalizing narratives that reduce their existence to a newspaper news story.

Brazil, 1930. Marcos and his family (descendants of slaves) left the Jequitinhonha Valley for the Mucuri Valley.

Decades later, when everything seems to be in peace, a huge construction company wants to build a dam in Marques' territory.

En un lugar donde nadie sabe muy bien quién es realmente, de dónde viene y a dónde va, Milla, Gilmar e Igor buscan formar una familia diferente, exenta de prejuicios y homofobia. Llevan consigo bailes, viajes, motocicletas, viento y movimiento constante en una ciudad, Bahía, entumecida y estática, que no cuestiona sus adversidades sino que las sufre.

With its obvious simplicity, the film’s title happens to set the mood of the film, or at least its guiding principle: staying anchored in everyday life. More precisely, the life of Maria José and Norberto, who have been married for 35 years and who live in Contagem, in the suburbs of Belo Horizonte. Their marriage is on the rocks, which leads their two sons to also wonder about the future of their own relationships with their wives. The story is quite ordinary. How can one capture such an impercep- tible shift in the heart of the banality of things, only made more noticeable by a crisis? Filming his own family, his own parents, his brother and himself, André Novais Oliveira has chosen to take his time. He shots long sequences, leaving enough time for the fictional situations on which he puts his characters to grow and unfold. Then he uses wide frames to linger on more mundane, concrete or at times farcical moments: eating an orange, cooking, watching television...
