Clube dos Anjos 

Sinopse Portuguesa Portuguese Sinopsis

Nenhum deles pôde resistir. Ao longo dos anos, as reuniões mensais do Clube do Picadinho – confraria que reúne há décadas sete amigos de longa data – passaram de rituais de poder a melancólicas assembleias de fracassados, de promessas não-cumpridas. O fim seria seu único destino digno. Até a chegada de um talentoso e misterioso cozinheiro que passa a lhes servir magníficos banquetes. Os laços de amizade estão de volta, é a gula como celebração da vida. Mas há um porém: depois de cada jantar, um integrante da confraria amanhece morto. Qual é o real motivo das mortes? E, sobretudo, por quê estes homens continuam retornando aos jantares?

Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
It is not everyday that one wants to admire a tasty Van Gogh, watch a spicy Truffaut, nor listen to a crunchy Bach. But everyday one needs to eat. Hunger is the only recurring desire. Connected to the act of eating, gastronomy is the only of all arts that demands that an observed object has to be destroyed in order to be fully appreciated. And what about life? How life can be fully appreciated? Maybe knowing the end can be a beginning. Culinary is the metaphor that serves as starting point for “The Club of Angels” to talk about the place in the men in the current world. Using irony as a weapon, the film tells the story of seven men and how they decided to get a grip of life from a different perspective. Seven precarious men who see themselves on the end of the line and still try to make it their occasion. In a country that not all people eat everyday, who can be the ones taking for granted the possibility of indulge a constant desire? Showing men being men is also a way of disempower them – myself included.
