Rafael Terpins

Rafael embarks on a shabby blue Landau and crosses the city of São Paulo gathering truths and lies about the set of his uncle Tico, the already legendary proto-punk-satirical Knee of Porco.

Dedicated to Robert Bresson, the short film focuses on a man on a wheelchair before TV images. In his mind, quotes from the book Notes on the Cinematographer reverberate.

Two friends go their separate ways at age 17, affected by the troubling teenage conflicts in the small and conservative city of Coti das Fuças, in the countryside of Brazil. Levi, a poet, tired of being mistreated, sticks to the friends’ plan of moving to a big city. Elias, opressed by a violent father, gives up on the idea of leaving. At age 50, Levi comes back to reunite with his friend during a funeral, when their memories are relived before the last goodbye. Inspired by the theater play Aldeotas, by Gero Camilo.
