New Dubai

2014 · 50 min

A loose, talky, sexually frank drift through friendship and displacement, more mood and bodies than plot.

Overview: In a middle-class neighbourhood in a city in the countryside of Brazil, the real estate speculation is a menace to the affective memory of a group of friends. Their answer to this imminent transformation is to fuck in the construction sites. And what about love? Is love just a construction?
How it feels: Melancholic, cynical, warm and satirical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Friendship, isolation, identity, sexuality
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
