Your therapist charges $200/hour. Death works pro bono and has a scythe.
Helena, a recently graduated psychologist, finds her father being taken away by Death – hood, scythe and all, tired of all the bureaucracy of his work. In order to convince the shadowy entity to give up on her father's fate, Helena invites Death to a therapy session.
Acting
Lisandro di Prospero's Death somehow makes a skeleton costume feel emotionally exhausted.
Writing
The premise shouldn't work this well—therapy jargon vs. cosmic inevitability.
Production
17 minutes that trusts you to keep up. No hand-holding, no wasted frame.
Director
Bruno L. Gaudencio
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brazilian cinema has a long tradition of humanizing Death through comedy—this fits a lineage from 'O Auto da Compadecida' to modern genre experiments.
The 10.0 TMDB rating is meaningless (literally 1 vote), but the film's festival circuit presence suggests Bruno Gaudencio understood something about short-form tension that features forget.
