Hiatus (2019)

The protagonist of this film is the reclusive, introspective Ukranian-Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector (1920–1977). It is based on a single TV interview broadcast only after her death.
Why Clarice? She and the filmmaker share similar family backgrounds in Brazil, but there is more to it than that. Her words in the interview correspond to a feeling of ‘in-betweenness’ or hiatus, which resonates deeply with the filmmaker’s feelings today.
