The City of Pirates

The City of Pirates centers on a premise that unfolds like this: A film director faces a complex situation in the production of his new film: Laerte, the protagonist of the story, begins to renegade her former characters, the Pirates of the Tietê. Lost in this situation and determined to be faithful to his whims after seeing the approach of death, the director decides to tell his drama mixing his persona with the story, creating a chaotic labyrinth between fiction and real life.

What sets it apart is how it treats its animation and documentary elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot.
