IFFI-2007 CINEMA OF THE WORLD<br />
It is a contemporary story about love, loneliness and the desire to control the<br />
uncontrollable with Sao Paulo as one <strong>of</strong> its characters. Two men have never met,<br />
but they have a common lifestyle based on precision, control and method, until<br />
an unpredictable accident involving two women forever changes the course <strong>of</strong><br />
their lives. Ênio and Pedro are about to find that an unpredictable world can rob<br />
them <strong>of</strong> something precious — then repay them with something else. In this drama<br />
<strong>of</strong> love and loss, Barcinski films São Paulo with the intimacy <strong>of</strong> a lover — showing<br />
its built-up streets in sweeping overhead shots during the clean, crisp daylight,<br />
then returning after dark to show its city lights in wooly s<strong>of</strong>t focus. The film<br />
received the Alfred P. Sloan Grant at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab.<br />
