The “Kappa Crucis” star cluster, nicknamed the “Jewel Box” (in reference to the multi-coloured flashes of the stars comparable to a collection of precious stones), is visible to the naked eye in the Southern Hemisphere and, for example, from the anonymous hangar where Bernardo Riedel, a legend of Brazilian astronomy, works in the Belo Horizonte suburb. This discreet man begins his day by listening to the messages left on his answering machine (“Bernardo, have you seen the latest images of Pluto?”), to birdsongs, or to Beethoven. He makes telescopes, polishes lenses, gets annoyed with administrative hassles or sits on the terrace in order to “float in space” with the help of his binoculars.

A diretora constrói o filme a partir da observação do cotidiano dos personagens, sem utilizar entrevistas ou comentários. Futuro Junho busca refletir sobre esse momento histórico e sobre a forma como o atual modelo econômico determina as relações sociais e humanas.

A collective portrait that respects the right distance.

A silent, black-and-white train journey through Eastern European winter landscapes takes a man to a Croatian village. An arrival in the cinematic tradition of 1920s avantgarde, with the railway and industrial modernity as a favourite graphical motif, which takes him past a fish market and a strange procession, and finally home to a small family, where the grandparents drink tea, smoke cigarettes and chat cheerfully. The image of a young woman burns itself onto the celluloid - and into the filmmaker's consciousness.
