Luana

2022 · 18 min · Documentary

Luana is one of a few children from an isolated community that lives without running water, electricity or easy access in Cabo Polonio, Uruguay. Through her eyes, we discover a world marked by the violence of the elements, anchored in the solitude of a collective movement still experimenting a social utopia. The wind, the sea, the sun, the endless sand and the animals form a landscape where life hangs on despite everything.

Raul Vasconcelos and Helena Brito founded a partnership over 20 years ago and has over a hundred lawyers in its service. Raul has an ego as big as the world and it was that self-assuredness that made him notorious in the courtroom. Besides being an astute lawyer, he’s a hopeless playboy who with age developed the tendency to say and do whatever he feels like. His trouble is that he’s constantly abusing that privilege. Helena is a confident woman, albeit more discreet and concerned about the firm's public perception, constantly considering how her actions might negatively affect the partnership and its bottom line. Her personality led her to take over managing the firm, taking care of all bureaucratic affairs. Other lawyers stand out in the firm, as is the case of Pedro Pimentel, who just made senior partner. He’s impeccably put together and has a smile that wins over most women, but behind this agreeable façade of his there’s a person with a lust for power and fame.
