The Iguaçu Hydra

Every week, five friends get together for dinner. But what these five friends don't know is that they are fictional figures. What they say and do is not up to them. With each episode, we witness a different version of that same dinner.

The Roman statues of the Hanging Garden of Valongo hide histories of blood and death. A garden seven meters up from the ground, with long stairways that border the Hill of Conceição, from where they stand guard over the bends of Guanabara Bay, that the city insists on occupying. A monument for a city of slaves.

Old stories of the colonial occupation of the mountains that surround the city of Rio de Janeiro and land disputes between indigenous people, Europeans and quilombolas. An immersion in the sensations of the Atlantic Forest and the affections left by the silent wars that populate our territory and our memory.
