The Uncertain Place of Desire (2019)

Sep 19, 2019 1h 2m Documentary

A woman finds herself facing a situation where a strong desire would cause her to change her entire life. This and Ana Thereza's other personal questions serve as a starting point for addressing the main object of this documentary: desire. Not only in the denotative sense of the word, but, above all, by its forms and possibilities of growth, ascension and, moreover, in what way is it capable of building itself from idealization and subjectivity.
