Dazed Flesh

Leaving October 31 • 44m

Directed by Grace Passô and Ricardo Alves Jr. • 2019 • Brazil
Starring Grace Passô, Zora Santos, Dona Jandira

A wandering voice is able to invade any matter—solid, liquid, or gas—and it decides for the first time to invade a woman’s body. From this experience it narrates what it feels and what it pretends to feel, what is unfathomable in itself, and what a body means as a social construction.
