Tumitinhas (1998)

Tumitinhas (1998) poster

In this haunting work, Santos creates an elegiac mood that suggests both intimacy and loss. Based on a poem by Sandra Penna, which was inspired by a children's song about a couple who has broken up, this tape overturns the sunny idealism and rhymes typically found in children's songs. Contradictory feelings, imperfect remembrances and the inaccuracy of time are suggested by the poignant collage of home movies, voiceover, and music.
