Ebb and Flow

About This Movie

Ebb and Flow is an intriguing documentary that takes you into the life of Rodrigo, a deaf man navigating sound in unexpected ways. Set in Recife, the film captures his daily grind installing car stereos, but what really stands out is how he interprets sound vibrations. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere of his world. The visual storytelling is raw yet poetic, and there’s this almost tactile quality to the way sound is presented. It’s a unique perspective on disability, one that dives into themes of perception and connection. The performances feel genuine, almost like you’re peeking into a personal diary rather than watching a traditional documentary.
