One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
After relocating to Tokyo, a Brazilian writer begins a new novel, provoked by her experiences in Japan and by one of the last scenes she witnessed in Rio de Janeiro: a female swimmer tearing up the horizon with powerful strokes in the wide, open sea.
"There is no doubt that Djin Sganzerla lives up to her surname. Daughter of the great Helena Ignez and Rogério Sganzerla, the actress and now filmmaker makes her debut behind the camera with the sensitive 'Mulher Oceano'. Here we follow two women (both played by Djin) divided by an ocean. On one side, a writer in Japan trying to find the tone of her story about a woman she saw only once. On the other, a woman in Rio de Janeiro dealing with transformations in her life. These two stories, so opposite and complementary, play with the meanings and even with the sense of what is real and what is imagination. Good debut movie from Djin, who knows how to play with the senses and emotions of the viewer with strength and delicacy."
