WHITE HANDS

WHITE HANDS
By Oliveira Beto

GENRE: Independent, Drama
LOGLINE:


Investigating the death of her friend, Hanna does not understand why no one is bothered by the crime, and the issues that move her, makes her realize that her own story is of no importance.

SYNOPSIS:

In a small town in the interior of the country, the murder of a prostitute touches Hanna, a simple woman who divides her time between the tissue factory that works, the church, and her 8-year-old son.

Hanna does not understand why nobody cares about crime, and the issues move her to further the investigation. But what Hanna still does not understand is that she is in the middle of a power play, a Leviathan (as described by Thomas Hobbes) that controls and manipulates people with the pretense of promoting their own subsistence.

In investigating the murder case, Hanna realizes that it is not just the life of a transgendered woman that does not matter, her own life means nothing.

The film project is born of a text by anthropologist and historian Beatriz Nascimento, who says that "The history of Brazil was written by white hands." Revealing analytically that the voice of thousands of people in the country is muted by questions of class, race, creed and gender.

This project participated in the 2nd Black Narratives Laboratory of the Association of Black Audiovisual Professionals - APAN
