o is a gem of 16mm cinema that coalesces exquisitely textured images and a gripping soundscape with irony and beauty. It is also a very contemporary essay on one of the most relatable topics of the 21st century: anxiety. From a small drop of blood on the belly button, Francisca Alarcão takes us through a meditation on uncertainty, unrest and self-healing.
