Caio is 40 years old and works in a scrapyard in the countryside. Today he has a partner and a constant occupation, but in the past he led a life of great irresponsibility, from which he came out alive by luck. The approach of Christmas makes him take stock and decide to return home.
Marking a tour-de-force comeback from 1960s icon Darlene Glória, Selton Mello’s explosive directorial debut plunges into the dark heart of the festive season. Balancing taut realism and visual poetry, Lula Carvalho’s handheld, 16mm cinematography scales the stifling weight of familial discontent.
