Synopsis

How many days can fit in a single day? In 24 hours… there are those who struggle to save themselves from the tedious routine of every day… there are those who get stoned to endure the pain of the slow hours of bad sleep nights… there are those who run desperately to save someone and count the minutes… there are those who sing and enjoy life recklessly second after second… but there are also those who pray for those who count the days, hours, minutes, seconds… and do not realize that the time left for them is irreversible.

About the direction

“Circular” is the result of the work, ideas, and talents of five new directors from the first film school in Paraná. It was one of the projects awarded with the Ministry of Culture’s Low-Budget Feature Film Fund, which made its realization possible.

The group focused a on remarkable collaborative direction, even though each one directed their own narrative segment (also known as a excerpt), the five stories interconnect within a circle route bus.

Among the passengers, many have connections with each other, even if they are not aware of it. People who have never noticed each other’s presence have connections, with varying degrees of closeness. This mode of transportation is also known as a collective. And cinematic art is collective as well. “Circular” lives up to this principle.
