The narrative of "Rosa Neon" is built between the documentary weaving of two audios, between one and the other, a delicate connection carefully crafted to tell us the story of a relationship falling apart. More than that, the short film plunges into the daily life of a couple to tell the story behind the non-history of a body full of silences: she is a transvestite; he is a cis: there is a concrete wall between them where it is impossible to see beyond. And this Thing that separates the bodies; this Thing for which the character asks help - for this there is no name.

Rosa Neon

2022Movie

N/A

A hybrid feature film that investigates contemporaneity through the body and its countless possibilities of expression and meanings. The film puts the body and the idea of the body in evidence, through metalanguage, articulation and confrontation of documentary, fictional and performative languages. The film follows the trajectory of the main character who uses her own body to formulate universes and investigate the meanings that are drawn in it. In a kind of subjective diary written on her skin, she records sensations and reflections, building relationships with thinkers, performances and archival materials, which lead her to other bodies and other stories.
