PARAÍSO

by SÉRGIO TRÉFAUT | 2021, 85’, documentary | co-prod: Les Films d’Ici (França)

Elderly people gather every day in the romantic gardens of Catete Palace, the former Presidential Headquarters of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. Every day after sunset, old men and women would come to talk about the meaning of life and sing love songs. With shooting suddenly interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, this film has become a tribute to a decimated generation.
