Marco F. Teixeira

Prestes is an independent short film that dramatizes the last day of the revolutionary movement known as Coluna Prestes. Throughout their career, the members of the Column traveled more than 25 thousand kilometers throughout Brazil fighting against the so-called Old Republic.

Clarice, a reclusive, anorexic woman, decides to step out of her comfort zone by planning her daughter's 8th birthday party. Seemingly trivial, the event is responsible for splitting her between her desire to be a mother and the demons of her disorder.
