Fumando Espero

We live in a new age. We are always rushing, rushing for no reason, rushing for nothing. As though time had sped up. Everything implies speed, urgency. But ultimately, why does time seem so short? This film is about the director’s conflict about time and the lack of it in today’s world; she reflects on civilization and the future of existence.

"Quero Botar Meu Bloco na Rua" is an affective journey through the history of the street carnival blocks in Rio, telling the saga of this popular manifestation that spans the centuries adapting to all sorts of social, political, cultural or economic transformations in Brazil.
