My Father and the Beach

A black actress receives very peculiar treatment on a film set made up of a white crew.

After hearing about a Brazilian folklore party at the neighborhood school, Fernando, an 8-year-old child, decides to go dressed as Curupira, with a skirt and everything, and suggests it to his grandfather, Mr. Lino, 70 years old. The dynamics between grandfather and grandson begin to be affected as Lino perceives Fernando to be a different child. Through subtleties in the dialogues and the silence, social conventions and the responsibility of being the guardian-protector of something precious, the film evokes conceptions of the masculine within a queer childhood.

A thicket. A trail of blood. While one flees, another chases him. It's a race. While one is human, the other has ceased to be. It's a hunt. While one species will survive, the other will be extinct forever. It's a struggle. And whoever loses, dies.

The actor performs the last remembrance of the character he plays. Meanwhile, in an apartment, two strange guys and the neighbor wonders about his whereabouts.
