Cecília Bizzotto

Amancio, young and bohemian man of the 30’s, meets friends at a bar and tell them about his painful treatment to heal a syphilitic ulcer in the stomach. While his story takes air of fantasy and adventure, a rough and drunk man challenges him to prove that he really is cured.

A man gets home and finds his wife dead. In a silent impulse he takes her body and plunges on the road. This man had never left his hometown, Brasília. When his wife dies, he leaves pushed by this emotional collapse, and submerges the road and it’s fortuity, searching to reconstruct his own reality. She survives in his memory. The road and its environment play an essential part in this man’s process: the landscape and the people, spontaneously. The Sun Against My Eyes follows this trip, from the countryside plateau to the fluminense hills.
