- 2018 BERLIN Teddy–Special Jury Award

Rio, the city of transformations, nightmares and dreams... What the night brings parade on the screen one after the other: in addition to young bodies, masks and make-up enliven the seedy underground of Rio. The camera, like a sleepwalker, hands over its consciousness to trans* narrator Luana Muniz–an icon of Brazil’s queer world. In her film, which premiered at Berlinale, Greek director Evangelia Kranioti, who is currently studying film in Paris, blurs the lines between poetry and essay, protests and carnivals, and genders just like she melds fiction with documentary.
