The Seeker
Isabela is the daughter of a powerful politician and grew up in a context of perks and luxury. In her process of maturity, Isabela falls in love with Giovani, founder of a community that preaches sustainability and free love, and, fascinated by a different logic of the world, abandoned everything she had in an attempt to build a different life. It's Father's Day and Isabela has not visited her family for four years. In an attempt at rapprochement, she decides to introduce Giovani to her parents and brother, but what she did not expect is that, back at home, she would discover that her Father is involved in one of the biggest corruption scandals ever recorded in Brazil. There will be no other option but to face and recognize the ghosts of your past.
In this film my challenge was to tackle complex issues with simplicity. It is a criticism of hypocrisy, convention, the bourgeois family structure and the clash of this context with other realities, which produce different perspectives on sexuality, coexistence and our notion of home and home. It was designed to follow the logic of a sequence plan, a cinema without a trick, with less control, bringing aesthetic language closer to the analogy of its message. I wanted to provoke a real and immersive experience in the audience. Isabela's return represents the fragility of the relationships and the individuality process, while Raji functions as the element of contrast, as it represents the simplicity of the relationships. The seeker exists and is exactly what he feels, without strings attached. The film takes place in Brazil today and reveals latent tensions in Brazilian society, but also addresses feelings and narratives inherent in all human beings.
