About This Movie

Amparo, directed by Marina Lessa Trindade, is a poignant short film steeped in the emotional weight of personal rupture. The film dives into the struggles faced by Alana, who embodies the exhaustion and despair of living under late capitalism. It’s not just about the oppressive system but also about the small glimmers of hope. Carol, her girlfriend, emerges as a source of strength, providing a refuge that contrasts with the harsh reality outside. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to feel the tension and the slow burn of Alana's journey towards reclaiming her agency. The performances are raw and emotive, adding layers to an already rich narrative that unpacks themes of love, resilience, and the fight against societal constraints.
