Ballast - São Pedro Hotel Stories
The short documentary explores the history of the old, and apparently forgotten, São Pedro Hotel, a historic landmark from the golden age of Iracema Beach (Fortaleza, Brazil), through the memories of those who lived or had some connection with the building. Despite using the building as a congregating element of the different stories exposed in the film, its protagonists are the memories and stories of those who became emotionally involved with the building. These memories, as well as the ballast with the same name as the title, serve as support for the "building-ship" that is slowly sinking.

Absolutely Fantastic
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
