Ode
Brazil | 2023 | 15 min | Portuguese | Fiction | Hebrew Subtitles
For 5 years now, a father has not listened to his son, he has put up a solid wall as a barrier to the non-acceptance of his sexuality. Ornir, the son rejected at home, on the street, also becomes the victim of yet another homophobic group and his last breath of life is trapped in a birthday balloon. Now on Christ's birthday, Anselmo and Célia experience their impotence and the mourning of their father and mother in front of the balloon delivered at home, by the one who was Ornir's only companion in the days of blowing.
