A dead painter haunts his own biography—through someone who never met him.
Where do you draw the line between fact and fiction in one man's life? That's the issue confronting an art expert delving into the biography of a painter who drowned 50 years ago, whose presence suddenly makes itself felt through the appearance of a contemporary friend.
Acting
Júlio Andrade's dual possession—same body, two souls.

Salty, sun-bleached frames that taste like grief.
Director
Marcos Guttmann
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Maresia literally means 'sea spray' in Portuguese—evoking both coastal atmosphere and the way salt preserves and erodes memory simultaneously.
Guttmann's script draws from real Brazilian modernist circles where queer lives were documented in code, biography becoming the only closet that could also be a time capsule.
