Swing and Sway | Fernanda Pessoa, Chica Barbosa | Brazil | 2023 | 82 Mins

Two girlfriends, separated by the north and south hemispheres of America, intend to dance in the tumult of images, violence, frustrations and desires. They do it through a game where registering themselves and the women around them enables a dialogue that becomes real and vivid, as an encounter and a hug determined to resist the distance.
