“Querido Mundo brings a poetic breeze to the screen, a look at love and at hope that seems lost in such harsh times. I say seems because it is human nature to love and believe. Cinema has the power to reconnect us with these feelings“.
Falabella adapts to cinema the play he directed in 2006. The story presents an unlikely encounter on New Year’s Eve. A bridge collapse during a storm brings together the worlds of Elsa, played by Malu Galli, and Oswaldo, portrayed by Eduardo Moscovis. They meet in Rio de Janeiro, among the ruins of an unfinished building.
Written by Miguel Falabella and Maria Carmem Barbosa, the film features black-and-white cinematography by Gustavo Hadba. The plot blends acid humor with reflections on personal life, career paths and future expectations.
