“It’s a very patriarchal world, especially in the countryside. The man is the boss of the family. Turns out, that inside this household, she’s clearly the one who makes money, who decides everything. I think this is an inversion that’s not often seen,” Carolina Markowicz
“We live in a very violent world, immune to its absurd moments. In Brazil, we have a president that says that he’d rather have a dead son than a gay son. They say people should be armed to defend themselves, to create peace. All of these contradictions that we experience and live nowadays, they were something I wanted to portray in the film,” states Brazilian writer-director Carolina Markowicz
