Fragments of a Life

2002 · 7 min · Horror

Small fragments from the life of a woman tortured to death by a drug addict and a cannibalistic Satanist. The thick blood splatters against director Baiestorf's dirty lenses, which shows in a surreal way the most realistic scene of heroin use ever filmed in the history of Brazilian cinema. The short was created from scenes filmed for the feature "Stay Sick!" which Baiestorf was unable to finish.

Anarchists, teachers, artists, small organic farmers, independent publishers and freethinkers have become the new Witches of the 21st Century and are the main targets of this crusade against wisdom. Thus, the Brazilian government created small groups of catechists who visit infidels who dare to think freely, with the mission of purifying their souls.
