2020-11-06
The recovery of family videos is the resumption of a path: the massification of VHS brought new levels to family recordings.

In this first-person film, Juliana Antunes revisits, reframes and recombines the discordances between norm and desire in the memories of an LGBT girl in a Brazilian suburb.
