“An amalgam of cinematic genres...
The Martins depict the locales, faces, and the rhythms of the daily life in a neighborhood
with uncanny gusto, and with a kaleidoscope of memorable secondary characters.”
— Ela Bittencourt, MUBI

IN THE HEART OF THE WORLD / NO CORAÇÃO DO MUNDO

A film by Gabriel Martins and Maurílio Martins
(Brazil, 2019, 121 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles)

“A sprawling feature by Gabriel and Maurílio Martins, In the Heart of the World offers a vivid depiction of a close-knit community in the city of Contagem, where the filmmakers are from. In this multi-character ensemble, the inhabitants of a poor neighborhood yearn for a better life: some get involved in crime, others just try and get by. Using a mix of professional and amateur actors, the directors create a kaleidoscopic, inventively photographed portrait of struggle, hope, and faith.” — Film at Lincoln Center
