Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
Príncipe displays a forgotten generation. A city on the edge of an international rehabilitation. In the film, a principle of monotony surrounds the main character, João, who travels around a immobilized romance. The film comes as a farewell letter to an inevitable separation. The youthful movement of a country without a decisive future proves a collective thought of constant euphoria. The personality added to the narrative fable lives within the subjects associated with the city and the respective geographic education that has accompanied me since I was born. This, which saw me grow within its spatial limits, invokes, by innocuous characteristics, the constant reference to the dream – a dream of escape, to a place associated with the emotional subjectivity of a restless generation. In protest, the indefinition of time, affiliated with desire, accompanies all the characters. This fragment of visual matter, like the other features of the script, can be interpreted on multiple issues posed in the aforementioned conflict. The main figure who, in contention, evades the idea of permanence, finds in the heart of urban space a focus of immobilized love. The constant feeling of rebellion following the sexual relationship of the two male characters is observational in the constant fleeting thought.
