After being screened in Cannes, and being awarded at Vila do Conde, Imago, Recife International Short Film Festival and Mostralíngua, in Coimbra, the film received this Sunday the Best Fiction Prize from International Competition and an Honorable Mention from the Young Jury.
Still in Brazil, the film is currently being screened, among other O Som e a Fúria productions, at Belo Horizonte Short Film Festival.
SONG OF LOVE AND HEALTH, that succeeds the multi-awarded “Bird of Prey” (which was also selected in 2006 to Cannes), introduces us to João, the only employee that we can see in Morais Key Cutting shop. He is also the son of the owner and he doesn’t hesitate about leaving the shop and following his heart’s whispers to spend coin after coin in the slot of a Love Machine. Marta of the Hills is a Fine Art Student who brings an unusual request. The key that João duplicates for her opens more than a single door.
