Why watch this film?
'Frog' is a Brazilian short film that tells the story of a young, quietly determined mother facing the challenges of everyday life with her two children. One night, an old friend knocks on her door asking to store a shipment of frog legs in her backyard. A mysterious delivery that will bring the whole village community to her humble home. In just 15 minutes, the short has a lot to say, meticulously working the everyday of a black, low-income, domestic mother taking care of her daughters alone. There is a critical tone that doesn't come close to sensationalism. A great pick, especially for being an honest national production, in line with Brazil's reality.
