Synopsis

João Carlos Castanha is a 52-year-old actor who works at night as a cross-dresser in gay clubs. He lives with his septuagenarian mother, Celina, in the suburbs of Porto Alegre. Lonely, sick, and confused, bit by bit he stops distinguishing reality from fiction.

MUBI's take

Matching style and content impeccably, Castanha lies at the intersection between documentary and fiction to tell the story of someone mixing his reality with his stage persona. This promising debut from Brazilian Davi Pretto has one of the most memorably dreamlike sequences in recent cinema.
