Saudade no. 1

Synopsis What does it mean to be lost in the art of something — or lost by someone?

This film drifts through that question, exploring the thin line between artistic devotion and emotional absence. There’s a sense of longing that lingers in every frame — a pull toward something that may never be found. But what, exactly, is being missed? The act of creation itself, or the person left behind by it?

The film invites the audience to consider both. To see how meaning shifts with perspective, how the pursuit of art can mirror the ache of memory. Through restrained visuals and quiet tension, it becomes a meditation on distance — between artist and subject, between presence and loss.

Is it about missing photography, or missing someone? Perhaps it’s both. Perhaps the art and the absence are one and the same.
