A STREET UNDER - Olhar de Cinema – Festival Internacional de Curitiba

Synopsis

After his work shift, bricklayer Alberto has an unexpected encounter with his half sister, Valéria. She insists on spending the night at his house, which he shuns. Alberto has just got a surprise tattoo to honor his wife, Célia; Valeria needs help. A film about absences and ghosts, with a direction proposal that operates within precision, in the economy of frames, the use of fixed shots, and details that delicately weave the narrative from a photograph that reveals and shapes as much as the characters’ dialogues.
