Assistant Director
You Didn’t Know About Me proposes a filmic narrative to 7 characters, all with serious mental commitments. The themes presented are free: childhood, nostalgia and loneliness. The scripts elaborated are based on memories and experiences lived by the characters. The condition of invisibility, prejudice and stigmatisation is flagrant in the documentary’s narratives. The way the documentary is made exposes its making: the team and the director are unfolding as characters. At this stage, it is evident how the authors fictionalise personal stories from their past. The inter-dimensional perception of the narratives configures polyphonic plots, with forces in constant tension: directed with the most intimate for each character, and advancing to contemporary political and social issues. The plot surprises by this alternation of narrative focus, it manages to converge on themes that permeate everyone, and are common to all humanity, because of their poetic and existentialist character.

O filme revela o drama de pais e filhos que tiveram seus elos rompidos por uma separação conjugal mal conduzida, vítimas da Alienação Parental. Os pais testemunham seus sentimentos diante da distância de anos de afastamento de seus filhos. Os filhos, que na infância sofreram com esse tipo de abuso, revelam de forma contundente como a Alienação Parental interferiu na formação, nos relacionamentos sociais e, sobretudo, na relação com o genitor alienado. O filme também apresenta profissionais de direito, psicologia e serviço social que discorrem sobre as causas, condições e soluções da questão.
