The Baptism

2024 · 15 min

A tense, sombre chamber piece that turns a family rift into a mirror of a divided country, leaving you uneasy and thoughtful.

Overview
Hatred, intolerance, polarization. In the past few years, Brazil transformed into a battlefield, where dialogue became impossible. The Baptism depicts this phenomenon and its consequences through the relationship between two brothers which lives are completely different from each other.
