Brasil

With a frenetic montage and using images created using artificial intelligence tools, the film "Morbo" proposes a journey through the streets of a large Brazilian city in which the dualities of urban life are explicitly amplified. By mixing mundane scenes of everyday life with moments of raw violence and effusive celebration, the film challenges perceptions and invites us to reflect on the complex nature of the human condition. Where does celebration end and chaos begin? What defines the line between love and hate, life and death?
The nauseating scenes challenge us to confront these questions, to look at the fragility of the social order and the intensity of human emotions. The original soundtrack, full of urban elements, dialogues with the images that reflect the world we inhabit, our daily choices as ordinary people, and how they unfold into individual tragedies and triumphs.
In a world increasingly marked by polarization and violence, the film is a visual ode to the resilience of the human soul and the ability to find beauty even in the darkest situations. The film reflects on what it really means to be human in a world where wars and conflicts are widely shared on social media and reduced to likes.
In the space where the simulacrum of the urban and the human, of chaos, pain and celebration, inhabits, the attraction to disease unites the real and the virtual in the frenetic duality of social order and disorder. All these scenes are inside you.
The film challenges us to reflect on the complex nature of the human condition as we follow ordinary people as they star in their own tragedies and triumphs.
