Rhonda Highlands

About This Movie

Rhonda Highlands is an intriguing exploration of the interplay between urban life and nature, set against the backdrop of São Paulo during the early Covid-19 lockdown. Claudio Szynkier's debut is a different kind of documentary; it’s not just about the city, but how its rhythm changes in silence. The film flows with a soft, almost improvisational vibe, layered with music that feels spontaneous yet deeply connected to its surroundings. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the visuals while the sounds of motorcycles weave through the narrative. It’s a unique blend of adventure and introspection, capturing an unusual moment in time where the city’s energy ebbs and flows in the wake of a global crisis. Quite distinctive in its approach.
