Resonating Surfaces

A triple portrait: that of a city, a woman and a way of life. It is the story of Suely Rolnik, a Brazilian psychoanalyst who lives in Sao Paulo. The film looks at her relationship to the dictatorship in Brazil in the 1960s and her involvement with the Paris intelligentsia in the 1970s, around the philosophers Deleuze and Guattari. While Rolnik's personal testimony increasingly comes to the fore, the opposite motion can be seen in the pictures.
