Renato Linhares

Brazilian short film, directed by Julia Murat.

Stela, a young Brazilian actress, decides to make a work on the letters exchanged between Latin American plastic artists in the 70s and 80s. She travels to Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and Chile looking for her works and testimonies about the reality they lived during the dictatorships that most of these countries faced at the time. In the midst of the investigation, Stela discovers the existence of Ana, a young Brazilian artist who was part of this world, but disappeared. Ana went from southern Brazil, from a small town in the interior to Buenos Aires. Obsessed by the character, Stela decides to find her and find out what happened to her.

Lucas is a quiet, ruggedly handsome, stoical man on a mission. As he crosses the country to locate an obscure forgotten plot of family land from his late mother’s will, Lucas encounters strange places, eccentric new friends, random dreamlike circumstances, plus a long lost brother and a surprise romantic/erotic situation with a young motorcyclist.

The trajectory of a romantic couple of contemporary artists reveals how the limits, contradictions and obsessions of a romantic relationship are reflected in each of their artistic endeavors.
