In the economically depressed neighborhoods of South Central Los
Angeles it’s far too easy to get on the wrong side of the law. One
fateful day 42-year-old Brian, who has just been released from serving
a long prison sentence, experienced it firsthand. The vicious cycle of
social determination, however, also begins to effect the lives o
teenager Juan and seven-year-old Gianni. The debuting director
immerses herself in the depths of human vulnerability in order to draw
out fragments of hope.

PORTUGAL PREMIERE |
|
November 23 - December 3, 2017
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
