What are the different aspects of living together as a couple? In its first edition of 2019, the Cinema Birita will take care of Avareza Bar, on Rua Augusta, on January 20th (Sunday), featuring four short films that address the issue of relationships. Among them is the short Rock bottom, directed by Felipe Falanga. The film portrays a relationship crisis between two men, which can have extreme consequences.
“In the current context, it is extremely important to give visibility to the stories of LGBT couples in general; to show that our love exists, but there is also disappointment, separation, fights, like in any other couple”, says the short’s screenwriter, Danilo Motta, founder of Cine Birita. “The programming also brings the issue of emotional relationships seen from other perspectives, such as old age, mental health and the world of dating apps”, he adds.
