Cláudio Marques & Marília Hughes : 2013
After the Rain
1984, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It all starts with a feeling that anything is possible. After twenty years of dictatorship, the population goes out on to the streets to demand presidential elections. The emerging political process has given them a new sense of freedom, although critics say both candidates are too close to the old military regime. Caio, a free-thinking teenager, is struggling against authority both at home and at school. The year will be a very special one for him and his fellow anarchists; especially for him, since he's just met Fernanda, his first love. It's a transitional year for the young: a time of learning and growing up. But life isn't always good, and fate has surprises in store, for both the country and for Caio. The film screened in the Marché du Film event at Festival de Cannes 2013 and received its international premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
