- Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's story of the same name, Marcelo Gomes and Cao Guimaraes, two of the most interesting filmmakers working in Brazil today, have crafted an elegant, parsimonious, and formally impeccable story of Juvenal, a lonely train driver in Belo Horizonte, and his encounter with Margo, a station controller. Emphasizing the theme of alienation in Poe's story and revealing Guimaraes's work as a visual artist, the two directors opted for an unusual, perfectly square aspect ratio, which intriguingly makes the film resemble a Polaroid. Juvenal and Margo, who each embody a different form of urban solitude, have been brought together in this beautifully composed ode to friendship.

- The viper is deaf and the scorpion can't see, so it is and so shall be, the same way the countryside is peaceful and the city bustling and the human being impossible to satisfy. Lacrau demands the return 'to the curve where man got lost' in a journey from the city towards nature. The escape from chaos and emotional void we call progress; matter without spirit, without will.

- During eight years I filmed, in her village in Italy, Ede Bartolozzi which suffered from the Alzheimer's disease, I filmed what was disappearing. I was aware of it. She was aware of it. Attracted by that « minuscule life » I filmed Ede, the closer I was getting to her, the more that « minuscule life » was growing. Ede and her daughter Paola were sharing an extraordinary love. This movie shows this love in their village within family, friends, neighbors, bodies embracing, faces and hands talking. A testimony of what will remain, the immense joy of living and having loved. I am filming life since I am eleven years old, trying to hold it. *** Filming is for me very close to what Annie Ernaux says about writing, "To write is to pay attention in a different way to the others, places, time and oneself." It's what I call asylum, as shelter, refuge, and the fruits of this asylum are the rushes of what I film. Watching the world with my camera, detailing it carefully, patiently, listening to it, is a way to keep on learning, inventing, loving; an obsession to save the memory of what could be missing later.
