Synopsis
In this Brazilian thriller, which picked up the Best Feature Film Award at Fantastic Fest 2023, a woman becomes trapped in her armoured car when rebelling workers occupy her family’s estate.
Teresa and her husband travel to their family farm to take refuge from urban violence. But there they face a revolt by local workers, alarmed by the imminent loss of their homes. She locks herself in her armoured car, but is unable to start it. Meanwhile, workers try to communicate with her and if necessary, take her out by force. The layer of armour that separates these two universes may not be enough to contain the fear and violence that grows every passing minute. PROPERTY is the second feature film written and directed by Daniel Bandeira. – Calgary Underground Film Festival
Press
“Property takes a cold, bleak look at the dialectics of structural inequality, and finds both ugliness and justification on every side. For all here are hostages to the same economic system.” – Projected Figures
“You invest in these characters and this narrative without ever being cajoled or told what to think, which is a welcome act of trust in the audience.” – Warped Perspective
