Tropykaos

Directed by an unnamed filmmaker, Tropykaos follows Guima, a young poet convinced he suffers from 'solar ultra violence' during the hottest summer in 50 years. This condition, brought on by extreme heat, drives him into a chaotic exploration of Salvador, presenting a side of the city far removed from its postcard-perfect image.

The film intertwines themes of desperation and longing as Guima embarks on a quest for redemption, seeking an air conditioning solution to alleviate his suffering. Tropykaos stands out as a portrayal of contemporary struggles against the backdrop of a sweltering urban environment, providing a distinct narrative that challenges viewers' perceptions of Salvador.

With a cast including Gabriel Pardal and Manu Santiago, Tropykaos combines elements of drama and fantasy, creating a unique vision of summer madness. The keywords associated with the film—heat, descent into madness, and summer—highlight its thematic core, making it an intriguing addition for collectors interested in innovative storytelling.
