Two friends respond to the challenges of the present by connecting through a playful provocation. Separated by America’s hemispheres, one in Brazil and the other in the U.S, they communicate strictly through video letters during a year. As a rule, each letter is formally and thematically inspired by a woman experimental filmmaker. As life unfolds, they express on film what they want to share with each other: the experience of being a recent immigrant, the expectations of political elections in both countries, their fears and hopes, all while observing the different women around them.

Director
“Madrigal para um Poeta Vivo” é um cântico à vida, uma homenagem estética ao escritor Tico. Devaneio fílmico sobre as reflexões que o personagem traz, é um filme sobre a memória, que traz à tona não só os percursos agonizantes do relembrar, mas também sua força política, de resistência, que insiste em reinventar o cotidiano e buscar sentidos perdidos.
Director
“Ferroada” é, antes de tudo, uma homenagem estética e política ao escritor Tico, uma resposta cinematográfica às palavras escritas, um devaneio fílmico.
