Eduardo Morotó : 2020
A morte habita à noite
Greasy hair; grooved and unshaven face; emanating alcohol fumes. Raúl just doesn't care anymore. The unemployed writer pours himself another glass of cheap wine as an upstairs neighbour leaps to his death. His girlfriend is clearly more upset by the incident. A little later, she finds a letter by the door reminding them to pay the rent or be evicted. Raúl shrugs and suggests going back to bed. But all of this dismissiveness changes following a meeting with a troubled young girl. Based on the writings of Charles Bukowski, the story takes place in society's grungy underbelly. The characters hang around dilapidated hotel rooms and shabby bars. Brimming with melancholy, but also recognition; a cautious search for soulmates in a world full of self-destruction. Eduardo Morotó's feature debut premiered in the Bright Future section at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2020.
