FUTURO BEACH [Praia do Futuro]

Directed with stylish verve by Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz, this dark romance explores courage, fear and love over the course of an eight-year relationship. Donato (Wagner Moura, ELITE SQUAD, ELYSIUM) is a lifeguard on the stunning beaches of Fortaleza. Struck with guilt when he isn't able to save a drowning German tourist, he takes to the victim's grieving friend Konrad (Clemens Shick). A torrid affair follows and the two swap sunny Brazil for frigid Berlin. A visual masterpiece, the film pulses with sensuality and stark beauty, backed by a dreamy score by German composer Hauschka. Official Selection, 2014 Berlin and Seattle Film Festivals.
