Blending speculative fiction with the cosmogeny of the Amazonian Baniwa people, the film tells the story of Suely, an Indigenous woman who divides her days between a small apartment in a large Brazilian city and dreams in which she communicates with a forest. Between romantic dances in a suburban bar, the heavy sounds of machines in a recycling factory and the mysterious voices of an impatient nature, Suely connects to secrets about herself that place her in the midst of radical changes to the future of the world as we know it.
Floresta do fim do mundo is the third creative collaboration between Rio de Janeiro filmmaker Felipe M. Bragança and Indigenous visual artist Denilson Baniwa, completing the “Plant Trilogy” – which also includes a video performance and a video installation.
