In his latest film, Mendonça breaks both with the horror genre and his criticism of the consumerist behaviour of the middle classes in Brazil. Friday Night Saturday Morning is a small-scale romantic love story, shot with a digital camera in black & white and in a documentary style. We follow the conversation between two lovers, each on a different side of the world; he is in Recife, she is in Kiev. On one side is dark, on the other light, but both experience the same emotions and hence feel nearness and contact.
