On a same night, five people from a small country town have the same nightmare. Upon the arrival of a pilgrim, the village is taken off its mediocre routine and the characters are thrown on the vortex of an uncommon situation.

The film tells the saga of Guima, a young poet who believes he suffers from “solar ultra violence” during the hottest summer in 50 years in Salvador. The alleged disease is caused by the relentless heat that hits the city. Under the marginal eyes of Guima, in a mix of reality and fantasy, the film presents a tropical/chaotic Salvador, as opposed to the stereotypical city seen in postcards, on a journey of a search for a redemptive air conditioning that can rid this contemporary antihero of what suffocates his existence.

Angelus Novus poster

To break with the logic of a historicist and positivist narrative, from the delirium, the mystical and the daydream. To search in the same cinematic experimentalism adventure, a time space image where the Angelus Novus is a call to risk and break with the linear logic of overwhelming conving story-telling. "For the incredible!" - Shouts the Angelus Novus. Performance instead of acting and digital images enlarged and experimentally shot and edited.
