Ouvidos Calados

Directed by Mauro Baptistella

Through testimonies and almost dreamlike sensory images, this film aims to make people aware of the importance of giving voice to their feelings. It is well known that between the ages of 15 and 29, suicide is the second leading cause of death. 90% of these could be avoided. Contrary to the veiled silence in the Brazilian press, many opinion leaders reinforce the thesis of communication to save lives. Art and culture are important means of reaching people's conscience.
