The Art Of Walking

|| Type of film

Innocent drama about the severity of childhood.

|| Germinal ideia

All the global metaphor. The poetry. The own rhythm and density of the script.

Itｴs a great challenge to work on this project!

Itｴs beautiful when, suddenly, we can transform the unspoken words of a motherless little girl into a delicate pastel tone, transform it into light which show and hide a dusty wooden country house.

This script put us all into this dysfunctional familiar micro-cosmos and let us think in our own relationships.

|| Main characters

Father, 50 years old. Rude, physically strong with distant look. Repairs shoes, have their own shoes full of holes and he canｴt repair itself. Give to the dog what he canｴt give to her daughter.

Daughter, 7 years old. Sweet little girl always barefoot. Walk on a straight line is not the same as having a straight life.

Sheep-dog, old, fuzzy, black. Mute connection. Faithful to the past.

|| Central question and moral dilema

We are talking about a lost family, the lack of a mother, a lack of an umbilical connection.

The girl tries to prove to his father that she can get to the end of the line without falling into all these holes and be the unfilled space.

There are too many feelings floating.

He is stuck on the past, waiting for a redemption to heal all his wooms. Secretly hoping for his daughter to save him.

We have two parallel paths separated by a abysm of fear and scars.

|| Climatic conflict

There are two major moments on this script:

1- The scene where the little girl try to walk on high heels and falls while her father observes her.

The scene ends with the girl crying compulsively. Father laugh and stroke the dog.

The moment when girl decides to became a saviour.

2- When she burn fatherｴs shoes. He became really angry.

The final chance to get his life back.

|| Aesthetics

Pastel tones

Browns yellow and tones

Smooth light

Warm Color temperature

Solid silences with detailed objects sounds.

At the first scene, when Father is far back in the country, 5 minutes away from home, she is at the window hearing the old truck coming home!

No pitching foi mais ou menos assim com o nervoso a mistura!
