Synopsis
Ten years after residing in that place, even if only briefly, the filmmaker revisits the now-ruined site to explore the enduring significance it holds for the city. Engaging in conversations with his own memories, a photographer who documented patients at the facility, as well as his son, Vino Carvalho seeks to reconstruct the social imaginary that once enveloped – and still surrounds – the Bom Retiro Psychiatric Hospital. What does the history of this place reveal about society’s perception and management of mental illness? (C.A.)
This short-film belongs to PGM 6 and will be screened with “Baobab”, “terra incognita” and “Nothing Like Before”
