SillySeason

O Direito do Mais Fraco à Liberdade

2025

Synopsis

It's 1974 and Rainer Werner Fassbinder is preparing to make another of his films. Provocative and enigmatic as always, mixing and confusing all the roles within this artistic object – actors who are directors, who are screenwriters, who are producers, and assistant directors, etc. The SillySeason collective, as a "turbo" of rehearsals, thus commemorates 50 years, not of a regime, but of yet another historical cry for the fundamental right to love.
