bala na cabeça

Brazil, 2009, 35mm
short film, fiction, 14 minutes
direction: Cristiano Abud

SYNOPSIS
A murderer and his victim stuck in an agonizing deadlock, an endless waiting, a deadly game. During his last moments, all there is left for Pedro, the main character of SHOT IN THE HEAD, to do is to lose himself in his reminiscences. Things are not in space. Things really are in time. With every recollection, a change.

Memory takes form according to our state of mind when we remember. We drop or add to what was lived. It becomes fiction. Due to that, the narrative of “Shot in the Head” is not bound by the chronology of facts, but to the imprecision that fiction permits. It is also a game about the perception of time. Time, which stretches or shortens itself at the main character’s disposal.

Pedro, the main character, has got only one more minute left to live. But he survives fourteen minutes, the duration of the short film SHOT IN THE HEAD.
