Dead Volume

Kauê Telloli : 2019
Volume Morto

Without permission and support from the school, a young teacher seeks to understand the strange behaviour of Gustavo – a silent boy who is only 7 years old, nicknamed by the other children "Dead Volume". However, the boy's parents claim that Gustavo's behaviour at home is completely different from the one described by the teacher. The parents decide to conduct an investigation of their own, putting the teacher's job at risk. The young teacher tries to calm down the parents and prevent a scandal from spreading in school. Nevertheless she ends up increasing the distrust of the parents, turning her into the main suspect, and making the puzzle even more unsolvable. Kauê Telloli's feature premiered in competition at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2019.
