    • Synopsis
    • Blanco shot a surreal and heartwarming black comedy to dig into the euthanasia for the physical and mental pain. The film is carried by multi-awarded Brazilian actress Denise Fraga and the Portuguese actor João Nunes Monteiro (European Shooting stars).

      The director delivered a sensitive message through irony in a very smart way.
      When it was a project, it got selected from the Torino Film Lab Next-Comedy, MFI Script 2 Film, winning at the SF Film Society Rainin Screenwriting Award.
