Panorama

Director: João Paulo Miranda Maria

Brazil, France / 2020 / 93´

Modern day Brazil, but lost in time. Cristovam, a native Black man from the rural North, moves to a Southern town, a strange sort of Austrian colony, to work in a milk factory. Confronted with xenophobic conservative people, he feels isolated and estranged from the white world. He discovers an abandoned house, filled with objects, reminding him of his origins. He settles in, reconnecting with his roots. Slowly, Cristovam begins a metamorphosis.
