The River Bank

Directed by Matheus Farias

Izaquiel (23), black and gay, has been working in an old street cinema for a few years. The cinema's situation is not going well and its owner finds himself pressured into subletting it to an evangelical congregation. That's when Izaquiel finds himself drawn into a spiral of persecution and control by the new tenants, religious extremists. He, a former evangelical, will need to confront issues from his past, entering a silent war that will become increasingly violent.
