CAMOCIM

Every four years, the calm and peaceful Camocim de São Félix, a small town in Brazil, is shaken, revealing an outpouring of joy, anger, hope and disappointment. During the municipal political campaign, the city splits in two parts, and everything seems to orbit around politics.

As much a reportage of a political campaign as a portrait of a committed young woman, Camocin presents mayoral elections in a divided Brazilian town, hinting at the wider state of a country in turmoil. The honest aspirations of the film’s subject transpire through its delicate observational style.
