Leave the Doll in the Car

From an old email written by the director, wishing not to be gay, João Victor modifies his childhood’s pictures using collage to explore LGBTQIAP+ fantasies of dissident identities that clash with conservative society imaginary. The director is motivated by realizing that some feelings are shared among people in the community.
