Obra

A young architect embarking upon his first major project is unexpectedly brought face to face with dark secrets from his ancestral past... During the project's excavation, a clandestine cemetery is unearthed on a plot belonging to João’s family, leaving him grappling with some difficult questions about the means by which his inherited wealth and standing were accrued. Writer-director Gregorio Graziosi uses stark cinematography and dense soundscapes to give palpable presence to the city of São Paulo in this technically striking debut feature about a man compelled to uncover the shadowy truth about his origins.

“Obra...rivets attention by sheer force of look and atmosphere alone.” Dennis Harvey, Variety
