Elias is a designer at a textile factory in Sao Paulo and spends his evenings in the arms of his male conquests. As a free electron, he calls into question the myriad discriminations that haunt Brazil, in a simple and spontaneous way. The film presents a fluid and entrancing journey through Sao Paulo’s night life, in which bodies meet, flirt, and cross-dress, and in which individuals strive to give meaning to their lives as best they can. In this first feature-length film, Marcelo Caetano focuses on a gallery of unforgettable characters, filmed with great tenderness. Through them, he proposes a human horizontality, versus the anxiety-inducing verticality of the Brazilian metropolis. (Laurence Reymond)
Marcelo Caetano a travaillé comme co-scénariste sur le film d'Anna Muylaert Don't Call Me Son, et directeur de casting sur Aquarius de Kleber Mendonça Filho. Corpo Elétrico, sélectionné au festival de Rotterdam, est son premier long métrage.
