Overview
Anunciação.22 launches viewers into a world of craft-futurism and new sensorial topographies, as the main characters move through journeys that confront the limits of their own internal emotional landscapes, the boundaries of their relationships with others, and the impending vastness of the absurd. Reflecting some of the many facets of Latin-American culture or "Latinidade", the film contemplates elements of magic realism - a literary movement from the global south that emulates the supernatural taking place amidst the otherwise worldly mundane - the complexity of matriarchal relationships ever-present and so deeply ingrained in the layers of Brazilian society and religious cults; and the manifestation of characters that evoke and reinvent elements of Brazilian folklore.
