Samuel e a Luz
Samuel and the Light
Documentary | France, Brazil | 2023 | 66 min | Portuguese
Synopsis
Samuel lives in Ponta Negra, a small village on the coast of Paraty, Brazil. At the beginning, the idyllic daily life beating the rhythm of nature and the development of the boy's identity set the tone of the film. We follow the boy and his family for six years. Little by little, a more complex reality emerges with its contradictions, between modernity and tradition, nature and technology, drawing a portrait of contemporary Brazil. The arrival of electricity and tourism in the village crystallizes the deconstruction of an idealized paradise.
