Letícia Simões | Brasil, 2021, 80’
“If you don’t identify with the place where you were born and in one way or another create about it, write me” – Letícia Simões’ announcement in the classified ads of a newspaper enables encounters with the stories of six artists based in Berlin. Themes such as identity, territory, and immigration permeate shared experiences with the filmmaker responsible for Home (Olhar ‘19) and The House is an Island Made of Wind and Rain (Olhar ‘18). With her wandering interlocution, the director fuses different worlds, inspiring a hospitable feeling of impermanence. (Leonardo Bomfim)
