THE SEEKER
The film tells the story of Isabella, the daughter of a powerful politician who grew up in luxury. But she fell in love with the leader of a sustainable community that preaches free love and left her comfortable life behind.
When she tries to reconnect with her family after four years, she discovers that her father is involved in one of the biggest corruption scandals in Brazil. Isabel must therefore face the ghosts of her past.
The clash of two worlds and the uncovering of the corrupt Brazilian elite is enhanced by an unusual treatment with long uninterrupted shots, with the camera taking one of the main roles.
Curiosity: this movie is set against a backdrop of several politicians being prosecuted in Brazil during an extremely turbulent period since the early 2010’s, still taking place until today.
