THIS IS NOT A FICTION.

About This Movie

This Is Not A Fiction is a curious blend of documentary and drama, delving into the life of Heleno, who grapples with a rare illness that goes largely unnoticed by society. The film's tone feels heavy at times, almost claustrophobic, reflecting Heleno's struggles against societal norms. Scenes often unfold in a meditative pace, inviting an introspective look at how illness impacts identity and perception. The performances are raw, capturing that fine line between reality and the surreal, which makes you question whether it’s truly the illness or something deeper that sets Heleno apart. There's a haunting atmosphere that lingers, and it stands out thanks to its unconventional narrative style, making it a thought-provoking piece for those interested in the human condition.
