A groundbreaking film that transcends borders and genres. Directed by Fernanda Pessoa in Brazil and Chica Barbosa in the US, this mesmerizing documentary unfolds as a year-long exchange of video letters inspired by pioneering women experimental filmmakers. Against the backdrop of a tumultuous 2020 marked by pandemics, elections, and social upheavals, the two friends embark on a thought-provoking exploration of feminist cinematic expression and the female experience.
As they navigate their virtual correspondence, Pessoa and Barbosa weave together a tapestry of visual essays that blend introspection, activism, and artistic experimentation. Drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Marie Menken, Yvonne Rainer, Chick Strand, Cheryl Dunye, and Ximena Cuevas, 'Swing and Sway' pays homage to sixteen renowned experimental film artists, showcasing a dazzling array of stylistic techniques and narrative approaches. From black and white to color, analog to digital, and CGI to stop motion, the film seamlessly integrates diverse visual elements to create a rich and immersive viewing experience.
Amidst their creative exploration, Pessoa and Barbosa grapple with personal and political realities, confronting issues of immigration, political disenfranchisement, and social justice. Against the backdrop of political events and cultural shifts, they confront pressing questions about progress, activism, and the power of art to effect change.
A poignant reflection on friendship, creativity, and the enduring legacy of women in film, “Swing and Sway” offers a compelling testament to the transformative power of cinema. Perfect for educators and cinephiles alike, this captivating documentary invites viewers to join a dance of resistance and discovery, where every frame is a testament to the enduring spirit of human connection and artistic expression.

00:01:00.035 --> 00:01:10.993
São Paulo, April 2020.
00:01:12.535 --> 00:01:14.136
Thief!
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:15.493
Militian!
00:01:16.118 --> 00:01:17.761
Get out Bolsonaro!
00:01:17.785 --> 00:01:22.785
I share these images with you
00:01:22.993 --> 00:01:29.160
in an attempt to make you feel
00:01:29.285 --> 00:01:34.594
how things are around here.
00:01:34.618 --> 00:01:35.595
Get out!
00:01:35.619 --> 00:01:36.868
Thief!
00:01:38.993 --> 00:01:40.410
You're going to fall!
00:01:42.118 --> 00:01:43.993
Incompetent!
00:01:44.868 --> 00:01:46.118
Stupid!
00:01:50.618 --> 00:01:53.118
Incompetent!
00:01:57.035 --> 00:02:02.618
I miss our conversations
about cinema and politics.
00:02:03.493 --> 00:02:05.285
Bastard!
00:02:05.743 --> 00:02:06.785
Get out!
00:02:07.243 --> 00:02:09.618
You're gonna fall,
Bolsonaro!
00:02:11.743 --> 00:02:13.868
It's over for you!
00:02:29.118 --> 00:02:32.344
President Bolsonaro's
speech last night...
00:02:32.368 --> 00:02:35.844
regarding the 5000 Brazilian
deaths by Covid 19...
00:02:35.868 --> 00:02:37.594
continues to reverberate.
00:02:37.618 --> 00:02:41.011
President Bolsonaro's
declaration was last night,
00:02:41.035 --> 00:02:44.261
when Brazil surpassed the
death toll in China
00:02:44.285 --> 00:02:49.618
journalists questioned him about
the number of Covid 19 victims.
00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:53.511
Bolsonaro: But... So what?
I'm sorry, what do you want me to do?
00:02:53.535 --> 00:02:55.743
My name is Messias,
but I can't do miracles. (Laughs)
00:03:05.493 --> 00:03:10.493
Keep me posted, my friend.
00:03:14.285 --> 00:03:18.868
Love, Fernanda.
00:03:34.618 --> 00:03:38.493
May, 2020.
00:03:48.868 --> 00:03:50.719
My friend,
00:03:50.743 --> 00:03:54.261
I try to understand
this new country...
00:03:54.285 --> 00:03:58.243
where I recently arrived.
00:04:41.493 --> 00:04:46.761
I left Brazil under Bolsonaro
00:04:46.785 --> 00:04:51.368
to come to Trump's United States.
00:04:53.035 --> 00:04:55.844
I feel estranged, a foreigner
00:04:55.868 --> 00:04:59.368
from myself.
00:05:02.243 --> 00:05:06.743
But your letter helped me.
00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:25.535
I leave you with my window.
00:05:29.243 --> 00:05:33.285
Talk soon, Chica.
00:05:44.368 --> 00:05:46.761
So nice to see you, friend.
00:05:46.785 --> 00:05:48.594
Monday,
00:05:48.618 --> 00:05:56.219
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
00:05:56.243 --> 00:06:02.261
Here, I've been surrounding myself
with a feminine feminist.
00:06:02.285 --> 00:06:05.076
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
00:06:06.035 --> 00:06:11.118
to escape the horror
of this world still ruled by men.
00:06:31.368 --> 00:06:34.868
I invite you to dive in with me.
00:07:08.785 --> 00:07:10.118
Your invitation
00:07:10.243 --> 00:07:13.993
is the only way I can
imagine to move myself.
00:07:16.701 --> 00:07:19.201
The repetition here
became a coreography.
00:07:20.785 --> 00:07:24.035
In the footsteps of the revolt
that took over the streets.
00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:27.160
In the circles...
00:07:27.243 --> 00:07:28.761
of those who look from above.
00:07:28.785 --> 00:07:32.868
Eyes that kill.
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.868
And in the blasts of the
pugnacious uniform.
00:08:12.493 --> 00:08:16.076
We must move.
00:08:16.618 --> 00:08:20.243
I move in a dance
between us.
00:08:21.118 --> 00:08:22.868
Under our own rhythm.
00:08:23.493 --> 00:08:26.243
Amidst so much
death and violence.
00:08:35.201 --> 00:08:38.910
Swing and Sway
00:08:39.535 --> 00:08:43.368
A filmic dialogue between
Fernanda Pessoa and Chica Barbosa
00:08:43.410 --> 00:08:46.160
Our rules:
00:08:46.368 --> 00:08:49.993
2. Until the end of the year, we'll
communicate only through video-letters
00:08:50.076 --> 00:08:54.451
as an antidote to the
texting and calling apps.
00:08:54.493 --> 00:09:00.285
3. Each letter will be formally and/or thematically
inspired by a female experimental filmmaker
00:09:00.326 --> 00:09:06.160
3. Deadline to reply: 3 weeks.
00:09:07.326 --> 00:09:13.410
Inspired by:
00:09:30.868 --> 00:09:35.368
We keep on dancing.
A powerful and feminine dance.
00:09:35.993 --> 00:09:40.660
Like Carolee Schneemann and
some of these female filmmakers
00:09:40.785 --> 00:09:45.035
we are also heterosexual, and
in monogamous relationships.
00:09:45.993 --> 00:09:49.118
Carolee's films prompted me
to return to this issue.
00:09:49.743 --> 00:09:53.368
In the power dynamics
and the care work
00:09:55.618 --> 00:09:58.035
in this kind of relationship.
00:09:58.493 --> 00:10:03.844
Despite being surrounded
by women,
00:10:03.868 --> 00:10:09.493
to always share our everyday
and intimate life with a man.
00:10:10.535 --> 00:10:16.493
Especially in a time of forced
isolation, sharing life 24/7.
00:10:36.993 --> 00:10:40.386
Have you noticed that many of
them had male partners
00:10:40.410 --> 00:10:43.243
who became more
recognized than them?
00:10:44.743 --> 00:10:49.993
We are also women artists in relationships
with men who are artists.
00:10:53.118 --> 00:10:55.285
Do you ever think about this?
00:10:55.785 --> 00:10:56.993
I often think about it.
00:11:02.993 --> 00:11:08.493
Not as much today, as I feel I found
a balance in my current relationship.
00:11:13.785 --> 00:11:18.493
But I’m constantly afraid of being
overshadowed by a man.
00:11:28.743 --> 00:11:31.868
I know times have
changed since then.
00:11:32.951 --> 00:11:35.368
But have they really?
00:11:36.243 --> 00:11:38.743
Sometimes I feel
like they haven’t.
00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:01.785
My mother hasn’t left the house
in the past 100 days.
00:12:05.285 --> 00:12:09.535
I'm at the same age she was when
she gave birth to me.
00:12:11.368 --> 00:12:14.410
I can’t see myself
becoming a mother.
00:12:26.451 --> 00:12:29.993
She had a print of this
painting when I was little.
00:12:30.285 --> 00:12:34.243
I would see the three
Graces dancing everyday.
00:12:36.118 --> 00:12:44.868
When I saw my own nudity in a new perspective,
distanced by the eye of the camera...
00:12:46.701 --> 00:12:48.618
I remembered them.
00:12:50.201 --> 00:12:53.344
I don’t believe in witches,
but I know that I am one.
00:12:53.368 --> 00:12:59.451
Nice to meet you, body,
it’s a pleasure, body.
00:12:59.660 --> 00:13:03.386
Me inside my mom,
my mom inside my grandmother,
00:13:03.410 --> 00:13:09.951
my grandmother inside her mother,
inside, inside, inside...
00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:12.160
We keep on dancing.
00:13:18.368 --> 00:13:21.993
I start the scene
with my naked body,
00:13:22.118 --> 00:13:24.285
lying down in the
living room floor.
00:13:24.868 --> 00:13:27.910
Enjoying the end of
the morning sun.
00:13:29.368 --> 00:13:32.785
Next to me is a table with
smalls plants and a few paintings.
00:13:33.743 --> 00:13:35.910
To the side is the TV
and the couch.
00:13:36.743 --> 00:13:38.993
On the other side is the
front door to the house.
00:13:39.785 --> 00:13:42.035
Right in front of me
is the dining room.
00:13:57.410 --> 00:14:01.451
Behind me there’s a frame
I improvised with a lottery game.
00:14:01.826 --> 00:14:05.160
It’s a game that brings memories
of my childhood in Mexico.
00:14:05.535 --> 00:14:09.243
It’s a kind of bingo, but
with more interesting images.
00:14:09.993 --> 00:14:12.951
Such as “the brave one”, “the canoe”,
00:14:13.285 --> 00:14:16.618
“the cactus”, “the drunkard”,
"the world"
00:14:17.035 --> 00:14:20.160
“the death" and "the moon".
00:14:41.868 --> 00:14:43.618
Behind the camera
is Thiago.
00:14:44.618 --> 00:14:46.243
I’m surprised
he doesn’t question me
00:14:46.493 --> 00:14:50.701
for filming myself
naked for the first time.
00:14:51.868 --> 00:14:55.743
And I often recall what
you said in your last letter.
00:14:56.993 --> 00:15:00.118
In this situation, I directed
how I want the scene.
00:15:00.493 --> 00:15:02.535
How I want my body
to be recorded.
00:15:02.868 --> 00:15:04.868
And I don’t give
much explanation.
00:15:06.618 --> 00:15:07.743
Does this count?
00:15:15.535 --> 00:15:17.243
It was beautiful
to see you, friend.
00:15:17.493 --> 00:15:19.493
Your naked
body and soul.
00:15:20.035 --> 00:15:22.368
It made me think
of so many things.
00:15:22.993 --> 00:15:26.868
In how I keep myself
from opening my chest.
00:15:27.493 --> 00:15:30.243
As I assimilate every
oppression that limits me.
00:15:42.368 --> 00:15:43.535
This is Victoria.
00:15:43.868 --> 00:15:47.118
She works with film and has also
lived in many continents,
00:15:47.618 --> 00:15:49.410
She even lived for several
years in Mexico.
00:15:50.368 --> 00:15:53.535
She taught me that we are
the so-called “TCK”,
00:15:53.993 --> 00:15:55.160
"Third Culture Kids".
00:15:55.743 --> 00:15:57.160
Had you ever heard
this expression?
00:15:57.618 --> 00:15:58.618
I hadn't.
00:15:59.368 --> 00:16:01.368
No matter where I am,
I’ll always be a foreigner.
00:16:02.660 --> 00:16:06.785
We talked about the violent industry
of film as a commercial product.
00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:10.368
And how we miss
Mexican lands.
00:16:10.660 --> 00:16:13.118
Even if we are literally
living in one.
00:16:15.910 --> 00:16:20.535
I think a lot about everything
that has been imposed on us
00:16:21.410 --> 00:16:23.910
and the depriving nature
of cities.
00:16:31.243 --> 00:16:35.660
Home of the brave and land of
the free, as they say here.
00:16:36.493 --> 00:16:38.035
But where is the freedom?
00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:42.493
And who are the brave
in this Meca City?
00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:49.243
Today I noticed that there are 100 days
left to this country’s next election.
00:16:59.285 --> 00:17:03.035
Lately, only death.
00:17:03.535 --> 00:17:10.785
In spite of memories
of a peaceful death...
00:17:10.868 --> 00:17:17.594
that celebrates, revolutionary
and again, death,
00:17:17.618 --> 00:17:21.761
time of purification.
00:17:21.785 --> 00:17:27.594
Today I stripped
from my spirit
00:17:27.618 --> 00:17:30.535
all human hope.
00:17:32.493 --> 00:17:34.243
But in spite
of you, death...
00:17:34.535 --> 00:17:36.368
tomorrow will
be another day.
00:18:08.465 --> 00:18:11.632
STATE BORDER
PARANÁ / SÃO PAULO
00:18:20.216 --> 00:18:25.507
WELCOME TO PARANÁ
WORLD'S BIGGEST FOOD PRODUCER
00:19:05.373 --> 00:19:09.081
I’m not much of remembering
names of books, movies or artists.
00:19:09.289 --> 00:19:15.498
But Adelia Prado says something
like “I’m happy, sad, and barren”.
00:19:15.581 --> 00:19:19.706
But I could never really
define this “barren”.
00:19:19.789 --> 00:19:21.664
I looked it up
on the dictionary.
00:19:21.748 --> 00:19:26.581
So I think that I’m happy,
sad and instead of "barren"...
00:19:26.623 --> 00:19:29.039
I would say scarce.
00:19:29.164 --> 00:19:31.373
Which is
a better suited word.
00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:33.914
That’s Elem,
all three things.
00:19:33.998 --> 00:19:36.748
Maringá, Paraná
August, 2020
00:19:37.164 --> 00:19:41.956
I let my joy show more.
You know?
00:19:42.456 --> 00:19:43.664
My joy.
00:19:43.873 --> 00:19:45.831
And the rest is hidden,
00:19:46.123 --> 00:19:50.748
Inside a small box,
locked with a key.
00:19:50.873 --> 00:19:52.623
And I threw away the key.
00:19:52.748 --> 00:19:55.998
Elem,
my mother-in-law.
00:19:57.123 --> 00:19:58.373
And I’m happy like this,
00:19:58.498 --> 00:20:01.248
Because I’m happy
with small things.
00:20:01.498 --> 00:20:04.789
My bird's song.
00:20:05.164 --> 00:20:08.873
The kiskadee bird nest
over there.
00:20:09.664 --> 00:20:12.623
My children, my husband.
00:20:12.789 --> 00:20:15.539
My dog is named Dilma.
00:20:15.956 --> 00:20:18.974
And my Canary bird
was called Lula.
00:20:18.998 --> 00:20:21.789
But my sister, a Bolsonaro supporter, said
00:20:22.331 --> 00:20:25.664
“he can’t be Lula! He'll be called Inácio.”
00:20:25.831 --> 00:20:29.581
Fine.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
00:20:29.956 --> 00:20:33.289
I named her Dilma
for the shock value.
00:20:33.414 --> 00:20:37.956
When I got there
and saw that little thing
00:20:38.206 --> 00:20:42.914
I said “Dilma, you’re
going to your Palace!”
00:20:42.998 --> 00:20:48.081
And the people there
were horrified.
00:20:48.164 --> 00:20:51.623
“But Dilma?”
“Yes, Dilma is going to the Palace.”
00:20:51.998 --> 00:20:57.706
I like Maringá.
I like this city.
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:03.039
It really is a very, I would say,
conservative city.
00:21:03.248 --> 00:21:05.373
It’s really conservative,
you know?
00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:10.081
At first
I was very downcast.
00:21:11.248 --> 00:21:19.539
I was downcast because my sons
were in the eye of the storm.
00:21:19.873 --> 00:21:21.873
in São Paulo.
00:21:22.081 --> 00:21:24.331
I was very worried
about them.
00:21:24.664 --> 00:21:31.873
And my husband was defiant,
he didn't want to work from home.
00:21:32.123 --> 00:21:43.206
I felt very… We elderly grew
very old in 120 days.
00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:47.539
It was sad. Old people
don’t have to die.
00:21:47.706 --> 00:21:50.789
They shouldn't have to die in
a hospital corridor.
00:21:51.414 --> 00:21:56.914
Because an old person has
worked, fought, survived.
00:21:57.248 --> 00:22:01.873
But it’s 100.000 dead people.
00:22:02.081 --> 00:22:06.789
I cried a lot
in the beginning.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.914
Not that these lost lives
have become numbers.
00:22:11.498 --> 00:22:13.248
Or that
I've become used to it.
00:22:13.414 --> 00:22:14.789
But here’s the thing:
00:22:14.914 --> 00:22:17.164
At first, I was very sensitive.
00:22:17.248 --> 00:22:20.428
I'd cry at every new death.
00:22:21.228 --> 00:22:24.581
Really crying.
And I’m not one to cry.
00:22:24.873 --> 00:22:28.966
I only cry when things
really get tough, you know?
00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:32.294
"Respect for private property!
Our quest is for freedom."
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:33.645
#we’re with Bolsonaro
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.123
So I said “I have to
get a hold of myself”.
00:22:37.373 --> 00:22:42.748
This could evolve to a
depression or something.
00:22:42.998 --> 00:22:47.414
"The Supreme are the people"
00:22:47.998 --> 00:22:52.706
#we’re with Bolsonaro
00:22:53.414 --> 00:22:55.873
We don’t know who
made those billboards.
00:22:55.998 --> 00:23:01.456
It says it represents the
"people of Maringá," right?
00:23:02.748 --> 00:23:04.623
I’m not represented by it!
00:23:05.081 --> 00:23:12.373
In a pandemic, a president can't
march around without a mask.
00:23:12.956 --> 00:23:17.914
Or walk among the people
without a mask.
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.748
"Democracy begins
by accepting election results."
00:23:23.164 --> 00:23:26.623
One of these days I saw a
street vendor without a mask.
00:23:26.831 --> 00:23:32.123
I said “good morning, mister.
Don't you wear a mask?”
00:23:32.581 --> 00:23:38.748
He answered “What’s it to you? My
president doesn’t wear one!”
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.498
But his president is
also my president.
00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:48.373
So his president has
to respect me too!
00:23:55.123 --> 00:24:02.664
STOP LOOK LISTEN
00:25:27.618 --> 00:25:30.410
My grandmother is
from Jecudi, México,
00:25:30.910 --> 00:25:33.368
and my mother is
from Douglas, Arizona.
00:30:03.368 --> 00:30:05.660
Thugs from the MTST.
00:30:05.785 --> 00:30:10.285
your actions will be
typified as terrorism.
00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:13.969
Electing the JUNTAS Homeless Women
candidacy is an act of resistance!
00:30:13.993 --> 00:30:17.469
Vote for the collective
candidacy MTST 50400.
00:30:17.493 --> 00:30:19.285
JUNTAS
Homeless Women
00:30:19.868 --> 00:30:22.035
11 seconds sharp,
that's perfect.
00:30:22.118 --> 00:30:24.743
That's the right rhythm
to speak.
00:30:25.076 --> 00:30:28.035
Let's do one more,
but it's looking good.
00:30:31.868 --> 00:30:37.160
You're living in the city of the images
that pretend not to be political.
00:30:37.368 --> 00:30:43.993
And here, I create explicitly
political images.
00:30:44.118 --> 00:30:46.344
The flag, it looks beautiful.
00:30:46.368 --> 00:30:47.410
Yes, Jussara!
00:30:57.993 --> 00:31:03.243
I never thought about
working for a political campaign
00:31:03.868 --> 00:31:12.368
but now, during the first city
council elections since Bolsonaro
00:31:14.243 --> 00:31:19.243
it makes a lot of sense.
00:31:22.743 --> 00:31:23.969
Say something, Débora.
00:31:23.993 --> 00:31:25.493
Fernanda, can you hear me?
00:31:25.910 --> 00:31:28.701
Could one of you please
move the cow over there?
00:31:28.743 --> 00:31:30.660
Does anyone know
how to move a cow?
00:31:30.826 --> 00:31:32.618
Just to keep them
further away.
00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:33.743
The noise is too loud.
00:31:41.368 --> 00:31:42.993
Don't film that.
00:31:45.785 --> 00:31:46.785
Cow!
00:31:47.618 --> 00:31:48.993
This one's the worst.
00:31:49.618 --> 00:31:51.743
Those ones aren't
making that much noise.
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.035
Wow! It's all of them!
00:31:55.618 --> 00:31:57.618
Move away, little cows!
00:31:58.535 --> 00:32:00.035
Move, cow.
00:32:01.201 --> 00:32:04.243
Recently, I had a dream
00:32:04.535 --> 00:32:08.868
that I stole the children
from one of them
00:32:09.326 --> 00:32:12.535
and I would only return them
after a few years.
00:32:14.910 --> 00:32:21.701
I then understood that
the children symbolized their images.
00:32:35.951 --> 00:32:39.118
In a way, that's how I feel,
00:32:39.868 --> 00:32:45.868
as if I have to borrow
the images and stories
00:32:46.326 --> 00:32:49.660
from these 3 women
00:32:51.035 --> 00:32:58.785
and transform them into a narrative
for São Paulo's progressive middle-class
00:32:59.993 --> 00:33:03.993
to elect them.
00:33:08.535 --> 00:33:10.618
We shall win!
00:33:10.743 --> 00:33:14.160
Faith in our fight!
We shall win!
00:33:17.285 --> 00:33:18.785
1, 2, 3...
00:33:18.993 --> 00:33:20.410
4, 5, 1000...
00:33:20.576 --> 00:33:23.826
Give us our house or
we'll stop Brazil!
00:33:27.076 --> 00:33:29.743
For a while now I've been
00:33:29.910 --> 00:33:35.636
wanting to show you these
women who inspire me
00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:38.785
but I didn't know how
00:33:40.118 --> 00:33:46.618
Leslie Thornton
helped me find a way
00:33:47.035 --> 00:33:51.493
and to understand:
00:33:52.368 --> 00:33:54.035
Let me know
when I can go ahead.
00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.660
You can go.
00:34:08.993 --> 00:34:15.011
It's not possible to capture
the other in their entirety.
00:34:15.035 --> 00:34:20.993
Or reduce them to one image.
00:34:31.118 --> 00:34:36.868
Something always escapes.
00:34:50.493 --> 00:34:55.285
Thursday morning.
September 3rd, 2020
00:34:58.243 --> 00:34:59.660
I accept Alice's invitation
00:35:00.118 --> 00:35:01.368
to escape to the desert,
00:35:01.868 --> 00:35:04.493
in search of some sanity
amid the emptiness.
00:35:09.035 --> 00:35:14.243
I travel with the images of the fortress
of these women you showed me.
00:35:15.118 --> 00:35:17.993
I see a future where
scoundrels and jerks,
00:35:18.285 --> 00:35:19.993
these tiny men,
00:35:20.285 --> 00:35:22.993
are assailed by
these immense women.
00:35:23.285 --> 00:35:25.993
Who are fighting
today and tomorrow.
00:35:34.410 --> 00:35:37.618
Curious how unwelcoming
this desert is.
00:35:45.201 --> 00:35:46.868
It’s over 40ºC out here.
00:35:47.326 --> 00:35:50.743
Yet, the Navajo land is
still being invaded.
00:35:51.243 --> 00:35:52.743
And colonized.
00:35:53.576 --> 00:35:55.826
I picture the Navajo women
00:35:56.368 --> 00:35:58.076
winning the battle
00:35:58.493 --> 00:36:00.993
against the yachts
that anchor in their lakes.
00:36:07.168 --> 00:36:09.408
And a ship with eight sails,
00:36:09.588 --> 00:36:11.194
and with fifty canons,
00:36:11.262 --> 00:36:12.462
will land on the docks...
00:36:12.618 --> 00:36:16.743
Friday afternoon,
September 10th.
00:36:17.118 --> 00:36:21.785
This is the first time I see a man
carrying a gun in this country.
00:36:22.993 --> 00:36:27.493
He was wearing a t-shirt that
read "Donald Trump Matters".
00:36:35.243 --> 00:36:39.118
It was then that I realized
the bubble that I live in.
00:36:39.660 --> 00:36:41.035
"Commiefornia"
00:36:41.243 --> 00:36:43.618
California,
filled with communists,
00:36:44.243 --> 00:36:46.660
as believed by many
who live around here.
00:36:46.910 --> 00:36:47.910
Here,
00:36:48.368 --> 00:36:50.410
these abandoned parts
of the country.
00:36:51.868 --> 00:36:56.368
Oh, it’s against Trump.
This one is against him.
00:36:59.618 --> 00:37:03.368
Three weeks until the election.
And I see my mother…
00:37:03.868 --> 00:37:06.660
Wait, I’ll have to start over.
00:37:07.868 --> 00:37:10.035
Three weeks until the election,
00:37:10.285 --> 00:37:13.410
and amid the turmoil between
the possible end of Trumpism...
00:37:13.743 --> 00:37:15.493
or its continued exaltation,
00:37:16.118 --> 00:37:20.660
I see my mother sharing
right-wing fake news.
00:37:49.243 --> 00:37:51.576
And a vast absence begins
to take shape within me.
00:37:53.326 --> 00:37:55.410
Which also spreads
like a virus.
00:38:10.660 --> 00:38:12.201
I try to understand
this woman,
00:38:12.535 --> 00:38:14.910
who used to show
tenderness and understanding,
00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:17.410
but my frustration increases.
00:38:19.410 --> 00:38:23.035
There’s nothing now but
a shadow in my memory.
00:38:23.660 --> 00:38:28.160
I’m afraid the images
I cherished from my mother may vanish.
00:38:28.910 --> 00:38:30.326
Forever.
00:38:37.868 --> 00:38:38.868
October 6th.
00:38:38.910 --> 00:38:40.368
An anxious phone call.
00:38:41.618 --> 00:38:45.201
Alice bought a one-way
ticket back to Brazil.
00:38:50.660 --> 00:38:54.410
She’s afraid of what could
happen here on November 3rd.
00:38:56.618 --> 00:38:58.785
She doesn’t want to
be here anymore.
00:39:10.785 --> 00:39:14.993
What happened to my friend who
was so happy in the desert?
00:39:17.035 --> 00:39:18.993
And that fear that grows
inside my mother,
00:39:19.368 --> 00:39:21.785
Who now expresses herself
with so much anger?
00:39:31.285 --> 00:39:32.910
Nothing but absence.
00:40:10.410 --> 00:40:13.493
Hello, my friend.
I’m sorry for the late reply.
00:40:13.743 --> 00:40:16.785
Things have been
difficult around here.
00:40:20.326 --> 00:40:23.493
I was deeply moved as I
watched your last letter.
00:40:24.285 --> 00:40:29.076
It’s hard to break away from this
ideal we have of our mother
00:40:29.493 --> 00:40:33.285
as such a loving and
powerful figure.
00:40:35.035 --> 00:40:36.993
But I think
we need to understand:
00:40:37.701 --> 00:40:39.201
mothers are human beings.
00:40:39.451 --> 00:40:40.993
They make mistakes.
00:40:41.868 --> 00:40:45.493
And I believe these last elections,
both here and there,
00:40:45.868 --> 00:40:47.993
have shown us
that the people we love
00:40:48.201 --> 00:40:50.743
can also have horrible ideas.
00:40:53.951 --> 00:40:59.160
Around here,
me and all the women I know...
00:41:00.451 --> 00:41:02.743
are exhausted.
00:41:21.660 --> 00:41:25.910
Seeing you in the desert
gave me this mirrored feeling.
00:41:26.035 --> 00:41:28.535
As if you had read my mind.
00:41:29.701 --> 00:41:34.368
Because I feel like I'm in a
creative desert around here.
00:41:36.035 --> 00:41:40.701
I have looked for my sanity
in other spaces and landscapes.
00:41:51.826 --> 00:42:03.618
The worker here is nothing more
than personified labor-time.
00:42:13.243 --> 00:42:14.993
It's not just the pandemic.
00:42:18.993 --> 00:42:21.826
It's the radicalization of a
capitalist model.
00:42:21.993 --> 00:42:27.951
And the fake news that your mom
shares are part of this political project.
00:42:32.076 --> 00:42:37.094
The worker needs
time for satisfying
00:42:37.118 --> 00:42:44.052
his intellectual and social needs,
the extent and number of which
00:42:44.076 --> 00:42:52.285
are determined by the general
level of culture of his time.
00:42:55.660 --> 00:42:59.015
The mission of history...
00:42:59.040 --> 00:43:06.628
is to establish the truth
of what surrounds us.
00:43:20.910 --> 00:43:25.410
The JUNTAS campaign has been
my struggle and hope.
00:43:34.910 --> 00:43:37.118
Despite the extreme fatigue...
00:43:38.701 --> 00:43:40.660
Giving up is not an option.
00:44:24.535 --> 00:44:25.701
I hope Biden or...
00:44:25.826 --> 00:44:27.993
We are here and...
00:44:32.243 --> 00:44:35.243
will give more help
to poor people.
00:44:45.493 --> 00:44:47.493
and we won't leave!
00:49:49.035 --> 00:49:52.076
SOUTH SIDE, SÃO PAULO
00:49:52.285 --> 00:49:58.035
FIRST ROUND OF CITY ELECTIONS
00:50:01.826 --> 00:50:04.826
You’re going to win,
you’re going to win!
00:50:24.076 --> 00:50:25.261
Room 12, second floor.
00:50:25.285 --> 00:50:30.660
- Room 7?
- On the second floor.
00:50:35.035 --> 00:50:38.535
- Good afternoon, your section?
- 629
00:50:38.785 --> 00:50:40.826
Are you filming or what?
00:50:41.535 --> 00:50:46.035
FORBIDDEN TO FILM BY
THE MILITARY POLICE
00:50:54.368 --> 00:50:59.410
THE ELECTIONS OVER THERE
GAVE US HOPE
00:51:08.285 --> 00:51:10.160
She's running for
City Council!
00:51:10.410 --> 00:51:14.785
That’s what I want to believe.
That if the JUNTAS candidature...
00:51:15.785 --> 00:51:17.951
becomes a political mandate,
may it be one of hope.
00:51:17.993 --> 00:51:22.951
Hope to our outskirts, changes to our
neglected neighborhoods.
00:51:23.118 --> 00:51:28.493
In the East Side, North Side, in all our
grassroots communities...
00:51:28.660 --> 00:51:33.660
where we’ve been active.
To all those that believe in us.
00:51:43.160 --> 00:51:47.410
In the JUNTAS campaign,
I was doing photography and filming
00:51:47.451 --> 00:51:51.618
I shot some of their videos,
our crew was basically 5 women.
00:51:51.743 --> 00:51:54.326
JUNTAS and closely
following JUNTAS...
00:51:54.410 --> 00:51:58.243
rekindled many things
within me.
00:51:58.576 --> 00:52:03.035
We were enduring this pandemic
with this man who...
00:52:03.535 --> 00:52:05.285
Anyway, this man.
00:52:05.868 --> 00:52:08.076
Who is currently the president.
00:52:08.701 --> 00:52:13.035
Who was wrecking all of our...
I wouldn't even say hope.
00:52:13.118 --> 00:52:16.035
I don't even think it's hope.
But our imagination.
00:52:16.118 --> 00:52:20.826
Because Brazilians, the people of this land,
have a lot of imaginative power.
00:52:21.035 --> 00:52:24.285
To create
and reshape themselves.
00:52:24.951 --> 00:52:28.118
And I felt that was somewhat
dead within me.
00:52:28.201 --> 00:52:31.243
Not dead, perhaps, but faded.
I felt...
00:52:31.910 --> 00:52:33.410
No desire....
00:52:33.660 --> 00:52:35.493
to think of the future.
00:52:35.660 --> 00:52:39.243
And I think following JUNTAS
rekindled that feeling.
00:52:39.451 --> 00:52:44.826
THE BEGINNING OF
THE END OF BOLSONARISM?
00:52:45.201 --> 00:52:51.160
You nailed it in these campaign
months, you’re pure strength!
00:52:51.660 --> 00:52:56.576
A big hug, faith in our struggle,
we’re already more than winners.
00:52:57.701 --> 00:53:01.826
IT WAS CLOSE,
BUT WE DIDN’T WIN
00:53:03.076 --> 00:53:07.951
A FEW DAYS LATER
00:53:10.660 --> 00:53:17.160
FERNANDA PESSOA
DETECTION OF RNA SARS COV-2 POSITIVE
00:53:17.910 --> 00:53:23.701
BRUNO MORESCHI
DETECTION OF RNA SARS COV-2 NEGATIVE
00:53:35.326 --> 00:53:36.535
Alcohol.
00:53:43.493 --> 00:53:44.493
Coffee.
00:53:57.201 --> 00:54:00.326
NOTHING
00:54:43.035 --> 00:54:49.576
DOWNTOWN SÃO PAULO
SECOND ROUND OF CITY ELECTIONS
00:54:52.701 --> 00:54:55.326
Do you think it works to
put your shirt like that?
00:54:56.368 --> 00:55:00.993
It helps, right? The air
doesn’t go through.
00:55:02.535 --> 00:55:03.743
There!
00:55:07.035 --> 00:55:09.035
60-40, man!
00:55:10.535 --> 00:55:14.493
The day to vote in the second round,
I wasn’t contagious anymore.
00:55:14.785 --> 00:55:17.035
So I could at least vote.
00:55:18.076 --> 00:55:21.035
We watched the counting,
00:55:21.201 --> 00:55:23.451
it was raining,
00:55:24.951 --> 00:55:27.576
and you sent me
00:55:28.076 --> 00:55:30.785
a box of your sister's sweets,
00:55:30.910 --> 00:55:33.493
which was the only joy that day,
00:55:33.576 --> 00:55:39.701
because I had Covid and the elections
didn't turn out as we expected.
00:55:43.451 --> 00:55:46.118
Hi, hello?
00:55:46.410 --> 00:55:47.660
Hi!
00:55:50.076 --> 00:55:51.535
It’s bad, isn’t it?
00:55:55.576 --> 00:55:57.035
There’s no other…
00:55:58.910 --> 00:56:00.285
Are you filming?
00:56:01.951 --> 00:56:04.035
Why are you holding that?
00:56:05.160 --> 00:56:07.201
I'm not wearing my glasses.
I can’t see anything!
00:56:07.368 --> 00:56:09.410
I just got out of the shower,
I’m naked.
00:56:10.660 --> 00:56:14.410
Bruno Covas has been reelected
mayor of the biggest city in Brazil.
00:56:14.576 --> 00:56:17.344
WE DIDN’T WIN
00:56:17.368 --> 00:56:21.743
BUT WE MOVED FORWARD?
00:56:31.368 --> 00:56:32.368
Moving forward....
00:56:33.285 --> 00:56:35.785
Sometimes it's such a hard
thing to accomplish, friend.
00:56:37.535 --> 00:56:39.035
I'm glad you are well now.
00:56:39.368 --> 00:56:43.118
Even under the threat of
so many viruses spreading.
00:56:47.493 --> 00:56:49.868
I tried to remain optimistic.
00:56:50.493 --> 00:56:52.285
I confess it can't last long,
00:56:52.493 --> 00:56:54.201
even though
I celebrated Christmas,
00:56:54.410 --> 00:56:56.410
this Christian
capitalist paraphernalia.
00:57:26.868 --> 00:57:29.243
A naked guy just
ran over the street.
00:57:29.326 --> 00:57:30.326
Naked?
00:57:30.660 --> 00:57:31.660
Completely.
00:57:33.368 --> 00:57:34.618
Did you captured it?
00:57:35.160 --> 00:57:37.701
I lowered the camera and
only caught his butt.
00:57:44.576 --> 00:57:46.035
The end of the year is near,
00:57:46.451 --> 00:57:48.951
and I don't know how we
will postpone the end of the world,
00:57:49.785 --> 00:57:51.451
here and there.
00:57:52.326 --> 00:57:58.868
Telework, zoom, and depression.
00:58:45.410 --> 00:58:46.660
To break with this trance,
00:58:46.826 --> 00:58:50.660
I repeat Zeinabu Irene Davis's
cyclical and ritualistic phrase
00:58:51.243 --> 00:58:52.993
in one of her films:
00:59:01.743 --> 00:59:04.993
The sorority between sisters
answers:
00:59:05.076 --> 00:59:07.368
How is your body now?
00:59:09.118 --> 00:59:11.785
Mine is here...
00:59:12.535 --> 00:59:13.660
But...
00:59:14.660 --> 00:59:16.076
not the heart.
00:59:17.660 --> 00:59:20.035
There's also a feeling
of incompleteness.
00:59:20.160 --> 00:59:25.743
Because my body feels whole
when close to another body.
00:59:27.035 --> 00:59:28.951
Virgin of desires.
00:59:29.368 --> 00:59:30.868
Lover of life.
00:59:31.868 --> 00:59:33.743
Sister of dreams.
00:59:34.160 --> 00:59:35.660
Daughter of hope.
00:59:36.493 --> 00:59:38.243
Protect us all.
00:59:38.493 --> 00:59:40.993
Black, brown
and white women.
00:59:41.868 --> 00:59:44.493
Natives, whores, and lesbians.
00:59:44.868 --> 00:59:49.118
Sprout the necessary
illusions from the earth.
00:59:49.368 --> 00:59:50.785
So that we may
continue fighting.
00:59:51.701 --> 00:59:53.243
Free us from racists.
00:59:53.493 --> 00:59:54.618
Homophobes.
00:59:54.785 --> 00:59:55.868
Corrupts.
00:59:56.035 --> 00:59:58.535
Sexists and classists.
00:59:58.826 --> 01:00:01.993
And from preachers
and hypocritical cures.
01:00:21.448 --> 01:00:23.266
A WOMAN’S BODY
SOMETHING SUBLIME
01:00:23.332 --> 01:00:27.370
The waiting was endless in Argentina
12 hours of debate tested the nerves
01:00:27.451 --> 01:00:29.743
of the green wave, until...
01:00:31.118 --> 01:00:32.910
the cry of joy at the end!
01:00:33.118 --> 01:00:40.035
The Argentine Senate approved the
legal abortion in the first 14 weeks.
01:00:40.118 --> 01:00:42.576
THE FREEDOM AND PLEASURE
PLEASURE!
01:00:42.618 --> 01:00:47.993
For Argentine feminists, this is a historical
moment, after many years of struggle.
01:00:49.618 --> 01:00:54.243
And you begin to
have these needs.
01:00:54.701 --> 01:01:00.743
I was buying products for my diet,
and coincidentally...
01:01:00.993 --> 01:01:03.743
there was a sex shop
right in front.
01:01:04.118 --> 01:01:05.618
This is my moment.
01:01:06.035 --> 01:01:10.618
It’s not a vibrator,
but a clitoris sucker.
01:01:11.118 --> 01:01:12.243
How does that work?
01:01:12.660 --> 01:01:14.118
It’s this one.
01:01:14.493 --> 01:01:15.201
Let me see.
01:01:15.326 --> 01:01:18.243
But it’s really good,
you turn it on...
01:01:18.535 --> 01:01:24.743
It's weak now,
but it grows stronger.
01:01:25.993 --> 01:01:30.451
There!
Can you hear it?
01:01:30.618 --> 01:01:31.660
Yes!
01:01:37.993 --> 01:01:40.743
So you feel this suction.
01:01:40.868 --> 01:01:45.743
Now you can enjoy this on the
last night of the year, right?
01:01:46.993 --> 01:01:53.094
Yes, they say how you spend
the last night of the year...
01:01:53.118 --> 01:01:55.368
is how you’re going to spend
the rest of your life.
01:01:55.743 --> 01:01:59.993
But even if I wish to spend
it with pleasure.
01:02:01.243 --> 01:02:06.410
The truth is nothing replaces
pleasure with someone, you know?
01:02:08.160 --> 01:02:11.344
Yeah, there’s no machine
that can replace that.
01:02:11.368 --> 01:02:19.993
There’s no machine to replace
a touch, a kiss, a caress.
01:02:20.285 --> 01:02:25.660
A WOMAN’S BODY
SOMETHING SUBLIME
01:02:44.285 --> 01:02:48.035
Take those rosaries out
of our ovaries.
01:02:54.201 --> 01:02:58.701
five, four, three,
two, one.
01:03:05.410 --> 01:03:07.993
You, your sisters, Argentina..
01:03:08.660 --> 01:03:09.951
made me think:
01:03:10.951 --> 01:03:13.826
What does it mean
to have a body?
01:03:14.160 --> 01:03:16.160
Of a woman
or an LGBT body...
01:03:16.493 --> 01:03:19.285
In times of death, disease?
01:03:19.451 --> 01:03:21.326
In times of this government?
01:03:31.826 --> 01:03:37.493
What a nice vacation. Such a delight
to relax after this year.
01:03:37.618 --> 01:03:43.451
The sun feels so good. Time for a tan
unwind, relax.
01:03:43.701 --> 01:03:45.618
How wonderful!
01:03:53.368 --> 01:03:56.368
Fuck life.
Fuck life.
01:03:59.201 --> 01:04:01.344
The question is: you often talked
about early treatment.
01:04:01.368 --> 01:04:05.576
In many press conferences you
mentioned chloroquine.
01:04:28.118 --> 01:04:31.701
Fresh from the shower. Now I'll
get ready for the new year.
01:04:31.993 --> 01:04:37.927
My white outfit is here. It has to be white.
It's New Year's Eve, you have to ask for peace.
01:04:37.951 --> 01:04:41.660
I also have new panties, which
I bought just for this occasion.
01:04:41.951 --> 01:04:46.076
This is my basic look asking for peace.
2021, that's what we want.
01:04:48.326 --> 01:04:52.035
Prosperity too, because it's
tough here in Brazil.
01:04:52.201 --> 01:04:56.326
Let's see if this helps us in
this economic crisis,
01:04:56.410 --> 01:04:58.743
Find some money to make films.
01:05:02.201 --> 01:05:04.410
Stir it a little to grow.
01:05:04.618 --> 01:05:07.826
Let's go:
money, prosperity.
01:05:14.118 --> 01:05:17.785
Friend, I'm also doing some rituals
to see if things get better!
01:05:17.910 --> 01:05:21.326
Burning some palo santo
to move away the bad energy!
01:05:21.785 --> 01:05:26.160
But things are bad,
the ghosts are heavy on us.
01:05:27.618 --> 01:05:33.076
Go away bad energy, bad juju!
Only good energy from now on!
01:05:33.326 --> 01:05:39.493
Come on! Out with the bad energy!
Clean everything and energize again!
01:05:39.826 --> 01:05:49.368
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
01:05:58.826 --> 01:06:00.451
Happy New Year!
01:06:02.326 --> 01:06:05.868
To our health!
To Vaccines!
01:06:07.076 --> 01:06:10.076
Get out, Bolsonaro!
01:06:40.160 --> 01:06:43.535
Twelve seeds:
one for each wish.
01:06:43.743 --> 01:06:46.576
Half of these are just
to take down Bolsonaro!
01:07:58.160 --> 01:08:00.910
Huh? It was supposed to
be on the front page, no?
01:08:01.368 --> 01:08:06.201
Where does it say Bolsonaro
is no longer president?
01:08:06.368 --> 01:08:08.493
Where's the news that
the vaccines arrived?
01:08:08.910 --> 01:08:11.118
Where's the impeachment?
Where's the vaccine?
01:08:11.326 --> 01:08:12.951
What about
all my efforts yesterday?
01:08:13.326 --> 01:08:14.743
What about
my pomegranate seeds?
01:08:15.243 --> 01:08:16.951
What about my lentils
and my white clothes?
01:08:17.326 --> 01:08:17.951
Where is it?
01:08:18.326 --> 01:08:18.868
Where is it?
01:08:19.160 --> 01:08:22.410
Where is it?
01:08:22.785 --> 01:08:23.160
Where is it?
01:08:23.535 --> 01:08:23.993
Where is it?
01:08:24.535 --> 01:08:25.535
Where is it?
01:08:25.826 --> 01:08:27.951
I'm laughing
so I don't have to cry, friend.
01:08:28.118 --> 01:08:31.201
NEW YEAR
How to handle expectations.
01:09:01.951 --> 01:09:02.951
Where?
01:09:03.576 --> 01:09:04.576
Where?
01:09:06.326 --> 01:09:08.201
Where is the beginning of a new year?
01:09:09.576 --> 01:09:11.326
The rebirth of democracy?
01:09:12.868 --> 01:09:14.076
Another chance?
01:09:15.493 --> 01:09:17.326
Nothing here either, my friend.
01:09:18.201 --> 01:09:20.743
There was the noise of
insurrection at the Capitol,
01:09:21.743 --> 01:09:23.493
images of guillotines,
01:09:23.993 --> 01:09:26.701
and flags from a past that should be dead.
01:09:30.326 --> 01:09:32.451
But I see that damned past is alive
01:09:33.951 --> 01:09:35.701
and armed to the teeth.
01:09:46.993 --> 01:09:48.243
I show you again
01:09:48.493 --> 01:09:49.493
this city
01:09:49.951 --> 01:09:51.243
not that new to me.
01:09:54.951 --> 01:09:56.618
Full of charms
01:09:57.826 --> 01:09:59.701
and many contradictions.
01:10:45.493 --> 01:10:47.326
Yet here we are, friend.
01:10:47.451 --> 01:10:49.868
And no one can save
themselves alone.
01:10:50.951 --> 01:10:56.576
Yes, we can!
01:11:06.326 --> 01:11:07.826
Like Paula Gaitán,
01:11:07.868 --> 01:11:11.451
I discover myself in this
dual Latin American identity,
01:11:12.743 --> 01:11:14.493
willing to belong here
01:11:16.326 --> 01:11:18.826
along with those that
won't feed the machines.
01:11:47.368 --> 01:11:50.368
I see Nava and she convinced me
01:11:50.826 --> 01:11:54.594
that despite the massacres
01:11:54.618 --> 01:11:58.951
we have to believe again in utopias.
01:12:22.201 --> 01:12:29.576
I know you want an ending with
more hope for your film.
01:12:29.993 --> 01:12:30.803
So, yes
01:12:30.827 --> 01:12:33.118
I can make the effort
01:12:33.451 --> 01:12:36.201
of finding optimism.
01:12:38.368 --> 01:12:39.576
Well...
01:12:41.868 --> 01:12:45.326
Something that
really motivates me
01:12:46.201 --> 01:12:48.451
and that inspires me
01:12:48.951 --> 01:12:53.326
is that there are so
many who are fighting
01:12:53.701 --> 01:12:56.201
to transform this world
01:12:56.826 --> 01:13:02.951
to transform the systems
that disenfranchised so many.
01:13:05.951 --> 01:13:09.344
And I say there are many victories
01:13:09.368 --> 01:13:11.052
in those efforts.
01:13:11.076 --> 01:13:12.076
I say
01:13:13.243 --> 01:13:15.618
that many things have changed.
01:13:16.618 --> 01:13:20.326
The fact that I can be alive
01:13:20.826 --> 01:13:22.451
safe and sound
01:13:22.576 --> 01:13:24.118
and that.
01:13:24.576 --> 01:13:26.243
I have a career.
01:13:26.743 --> 01:13:32.451
That my family loves me and accepts me.
01:13:32.993 --> 01:13:35.326
That I have friends,
01:13:35.826 --> 01:13:38.451
that I have a future of my own.
01:13:39.076 --> 01:13:42.493
It means the world has changed
enough for that.
01:13:43.076 --> 01:13:44.576
Because,
01:13:45.368 --> 01:13:50.201
one generation back,
a trans latina woman
01:13:50.493 --> 01:13:54.576
wouldn't survive to
the age I am now.
01:13:55.701 --> 01:13:57.201
So...
01:13:58.201 --> 01:14:00.368
that gives me hope.
01:14:05.826 --> 01:14:07.701
I remembered some verses
one of these days,
01:14:07.826 --> 01:14:09.243
in my other language
01:14:09.618 --> 01:14:11.951
that I wish one day
I can recite with you.
01:14:14.243 --> 01:14:17.868
They think the tide goes,
but never comes back.
01:14:18.076 --> 01:14:21.469
Until now, they've been
controlling my destiny.
01:14:21.493 --> 01:14:25.493
And I backed down...
01:14:25.993 --> 01:14:27.701
collecting furies.
01:14:28.201 --> 01:14:30.201
Now I am a loose wave.
01:14:30.451 --> 01:14:33.118
As strong as they
consider me weak.
01:14:34.951 --> 01:14:37.701
When they see the tide turn,
01:14:38.868 --> 01:14:41.826
I want to know if they can
defy the surprise.
01:14:47.993 --> 01:14:51.243
I want to see how they
react to the tempestuous ocean.
01:16:46.326 --> 01:17:01.201
Hey Bolsonaro, you little fascist,
the women will put you in your place!
01:17:12.596 --> 01:17:15.916
The women will put you in your place!
