The Roof Above Us
Producer
Squatters living in an abandoned building receive a notice that they may be evicted some time soon. While Anna tries to deal with the news, she has to confront a mysterious man lying in her bed.
Half Man, Half Ghost
Writer
The whole life of man is but a point in time. HALF MAN, HALF GHOST is the latest exploration by Davi Pretto after his first feature-film CASTANHA. Pretto shows us an old man’s slow disappearing process, in a far and remote area in the south of Brazil. A man that represents an old style of men that inhabited this region, but no longer exists. Somewhere between an ethnographic documentary and a fantasy, a journey into darkness and oblivion.
