Ex-It

Ex-It presents a creative narrative inspired by Paulo Leminski's "Catatau." The film imagines a journey where René Descartes, the father of modern philosophy, travels to Brazil with Maurício de Nassau. Amidst the tropical landscape, he engages with hallucinatory experiences that challenge his philosophical inquiries into geometry and optics.

The runtime of 86 minutes allows for a concise exploration of complex ideas set against a vivid backdrop. João Miguel leads the cast, bringing to life the character of Descartes as he grapples with the limits of reason in a strange new world. The film merges philosophy with a visual journey, making it a distinctive addition to any collection focused on innovative storytelling.
