Daniel Aragão : 2012
Good luck, sweetheart
Dirceu, 30 years old, has origins that go back to the aristocracy of Northeast Brazilian backlands. Settled in a kind of subjective amnesia, Dirceu tries to bury his family's past. He is a demolition man in Recife, an urban landscape undergoing an uncontrolled process of transformation. Maria shares the same country origins, but she uses the city for a different purpose. She is a carefree and joyful music student. If Dirceu aspires to a world that is stable and present, Maria lives in discord with the present. For her, nothing is as it should be. Maria's presence, almost an apparition, unleashes in Dirceu an urge for being somebody else. On a route of escape through the desert of the backlands, a unique encounter is set to happen. Daniel Aragão's first feature is an anti-romance of the impact between music and silence. The film premiered in competition at Locarno Film Festival 2012, and won the Candango Trophy for Best Director at Brasília Festival of Brazilian Cinema 2012.
