PERFECT ENDINGS (13 Sentimentos)

Guaranteed to get your heart pumping, the latest from Teddy Award-winner Daniel Ribeiro (crowd-pleasing favourite The Way He Looks, VQFF Opening Gala ’14) pulses to the beat of a hot and heavy summer in the city.

Fresh off a breakup from a long-term relationship and ready for a rebound, aspiring Brazilian filmmaker João battles writer’s block while diving headfirst into hookup apps in search of a spark, on and off the page, for his sexy new screenplay. He discovers a surprising fusion of both passions when he begins directing amateur erotic films, uncovering how art can imitate life and vice versa. Surrounded by supportive, fun-loving friends, João endeavours to put the pen down and surrender to self-discovery. From frame one to a finale that lives up to its title, Ribeiro reflects the rhythms of modern romance with intoxicating physical direction and a magnetic sense of revelation.
