Dry Wind

2020 · 110 min

A sweaty, simmering slow burn of desire and jealousy, drifting between mundane routine and feverish fantasy.

Overview: The area around Catalan in Brazil’s state of Goiás is dry, very dry. Sandro’s life here is somewhat monotonous. He works in a fertiliser factory, goes swimming and spends his evenings doing jigsaw puzzles of landscapes. When Maicon, a man straight out of a Tom of Finland illustration, shows up in their small town and flirts with Ricardo, Sandro’s burgeoning feelings of jealousy set a change in motion.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, eerie and romantic. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Obsession, isolation, sexuality, loneliness

Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
