THE MILK WAY (2007)

BRAZIL

The possibilities about love, loss and death in a big city. Heitor, a literature teacher and writer, and Julia, an actress, love each other in a while. It is sunset in the city of São Paulo and the couple performed a violent discussion by phone. Tormented, Heitor drives to his girlfriend’s house to talk face to face. During this journey through the rushed streets, the traffic jam, pedestrians, homeless kids at the corners, bars, the urban scenery and much more interact with Heitor and his love digressions. Lina Chamie optioned in the soundtrack for an eclectic and personal selection that goes from classical musical (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Erik Satie) to the popular one (Tom Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Manu Chao). The feature won the Casa de América Award, in section Cine en Construcción, at the 2006 San Sebastian Film Festival, in Spain.
