Feiura Comovente
Synopsis
An experimental film-poetry that follows Anjo, a person nearing 30, still bound to their mother. Their encounter with a mysterious masked figure becomes a projection of Anjo’s pain and desire. Through ritualistic acts and symbolic sacrifices, the film explores faith, scars, and the beauty of what cannot be saved. Performed entirely by trans actors, it blurs the line between body, theater, and cinema, creating a liminal space where suffering, desire, and transformation intertwine.
