DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Sweet Water is a contemporary fable about emotional memories. Telling a story is an attempt to take care of ourselves. When realism cannot deal with emotions, then the fantastic and the metaphor emerges. Making a film is huge and small at the same time. To be in the company of this cast and crew to make art, in the current political context of Brazil, was both a poetic and revolutionary act.
