- A broken body in a white dress, lying lifeless in a swaying soya field. The image of this motionless body lends an extra charge to everything that follows. Marcheti follows three protagonists in turn. They don't know one another, but are all in some way connected through Madalena. Luziane, a club hostess, knocks on her door for money. Wealthy Cristiano inspects the vast expanse of soya fields for his demanding father. Trans woman Bianca and her girlfriends divide Madalena's things between them while reminiscing. Marcheti shot the film in the agrarian region where he grew up, capturing with great visual flair this largely unfilmed rural part of Brazil. A place where big agricultural machinery crawls monster-like across the landscape and the farthest corners are known only to drones. A world that can also take on a spooky aspect - now and then, Marcheti inventively gives an eerie twist to even the most everyday scene. Madalena is above all a window on a world that is getting out of control. But Marcheti is also clearly making a statement about his country, which has the highest rate of murder of transgender people in the world. A plea for empathy, rather than pity.
- At dawn, on February 22nd, 1998, part of the Palace II building collapsed, leaving eight victims and more than 170 families homeless. The building was planned by the Brazilian construction company SERSAN, a company owned by the politician Sérgio Naya. At the time, several reports of precarious material quality and design errors were related. Nowadays, more than 20 years later, most part of the residents did not receive the restitution, which they are entitled. Sérgio Naya was not convicted and died in 2009, leaving millions in debt and the largest civil suit in Latin America. This is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of Brazilian civil engineering and a historical landmark of impunity in the country. The movie seeks to give voice to the victims forgotten by the authorities and the Brazilian society. There is no way to portray the fall of Palace II without thinking of tragedy as the result of social inequality in Brazil. A true portrait that goes far beyond the building shows the drama of how the impunity in the country reaches the common people. It is about the incessant search for profits, politicians who believe to be above the law, the connivance of public power and the slow Brazilian legal system. In the civil sphere, after more than 20 years, the former residents have not yet received all the compensation to which they are entitled. In the criminal sphere, even with technical experts' report pointing out multiple causes that imply guilt for those involved in the construction, no one was arrested. Although revoked in Congress, perhaps due to bureaucratic issues, the technical lead of the construction and former politician Sérgio Naya lived until his last days unpunished for the crimes. The film is made from the point of view of the former residents who just want it all to end. 'Palace II - 3 Quartos com Vista para o Mar" is a co-production between Viralata Produções, Globo Filmes, Globo News, Urca Filmes and distributed by Pagu Pictures.
