Em Casa

Em Casa presents a reflective journey as the filmmaker returns to their parents' house after a decade. The film forms part of a trilogy of travel diaries, including Desertum and Exodus. It avoids psychological exploration, focusing instead on the physical structure of the home and the traces of the filmmaker's existence within its walls.

The narrative unfolds through a materialist lens, emphasizing the house's architecture and its emptiness. The absence of human figures accentuates the memories linked to the space, creating a contemplative atmosphere. This approach is reminiscent of formalist techniques, especially in relation to the filmmaker's prior work, Entremeio.

As the film progresses, it transitions from an examination of the rooms within the house to broader reflections on its outskirts. The culmination of this exploration is marked by a synthesis plan in the final moments, inviting viewers to reflect on the connections between space and memory.
