Wheels of a Giant
An eccentric theater director defies old age and the illnesses of the flesh by presenting a perspective of dialogue with eternity through art and its bonds. The poetic improvisation with Hugo Rodas, a Uruguayan multi-artist who established a unique trajectory in Brazil, has intimacy as its proposal. Catarina Accioly filmed the artist for four years, until his death.
