Synopsis

A woman takes her usual path back home, passing suspicious figures, staircases, pedestrian tunnels and dark streets. The journey, as always, can be daunting. According to directors Filipe Ruffato and Gonçalo Viana, true art is something that synthesises the complexity of life. And for them, this is Sofia. In a single ten minute bold shot of artificial beauty, we witness fear, misunderstanding, prejudice, craving and desire, all of which arrive and depart as unspoken forces. This short film is an exercise in the precarious human condition.
