Memória da memória

Atlantic Garden
The film is a narrative starting from the story of Pierre and Syl, a couple that experiences the conflict between possession and freedom in a troubled relationship.

Editor
Vera and Gabriel, an elderly couple, navigate through past and present, telling their own life story. Their remembering, rendered in images from family archives that confound themselves with images of the present, suggests a personal diary on love and death.

Freely inspired by the poem Hierarquia (1970), by Pier Paolo Pasolini, which launches his vision of Brazil at that time, the film takes up and confronts the hybrid reality of a convulsed country, its dramatic tensions, based on radical experiences.

Quimera
Editor
A man shaves under the watchful eye of a cat. His beard becomes a cat and the cat a beard. The film merges the two concepts of chimera: as a noun, it is the result of imagination that tends not to come true; in Greek mythology, a figure with the hybrid appearance of two or more animals.
