Rezmorah Paige

A Lisbon night is traversed by the intensity of René, a precarious young Brazilian who has anchored in town, immersed in personal and existential conflicts. Queer parties, love, rejection and loneliness move through her body, out of place between the two continents. Stephanie Ricci captures the experiences of a free soul on the run, of one who doesn’t know where, how and when, with vivid sequences and conversations that impregnate a magnificent city portrait.

After heavy nights of partying with drugs and sex, Rezmorah goes to the Botanical Garden of Lisbon to get sober again. Above all, the Garden is a study place: it catalogs tropical, rare, endangered, and worldwide species, no matter how different they may be. And it is among them, on a Sunday morning, that Rez tells us about their relationship with the night, with that space and with gender, wondering what plants have to teach us about possibilities and ways of seeing and thinking queer life.
