Section: Premiere Brazil

Motivation: “Within the selected films from Premiere Brazil, we have witnessed the predominance of revolt, forgiveness and massive delirium. Our award goes to a feature that stroke us by the way it expressed its very own way of revolting. Beyond the setbacks, threats, and uncertainties of an ableist society, it is a story that celebrates the body and its movement with moving energy, as can be felt through its use of music, staging and cinematography, and above all through the performance of its lead actor, who draws on his own life to create this unique vision of freedom.”
