One Minute Is an Eternity for Those Who Are Suffering

2025 · 61 min · Documentary

An intimate, experimental documentary in which co-director Wesley Pereira turns the camera on himself to explore his daily life, desires, and inner turmoil. Set in his home in Sergipe, Brazil, the film blends mundane routines with candid reflections on sexuality, erotic desire, cinephilia, and mental anguish. Openly gay, Wesley examines his own vulnerability, shame, and longing, creating a raw portrait of queer existence and self-exposure. Fragmented and non-linear, the film stretches time and emotion, embodying its title: one minute can feel like an eternity when suffering. It is a bold, introspective meditation on identity, isolation, and the challenges of living authentically.
