Hard Paint
Directed by Marcio Reolon, Filipe Matzembacher
Produced by Avante Filmes, Hubert Bals Fund
A darkly ambiguous exploration of identity, performance, and desire in the digital age, where a webcam performer's encounter with his imitator unravels into unsettling consequences.
Pedro earns a living in chat rooms. He transforms himself into NeonBoy in front of the webcam. Slowly, this young man dips his fingers into pots of coloured paint and glides them across his naked body. But things change when Pedro notices that somebody is imitating his performances. He agrees to go on a date with his mysterious rival. This rendezvous will have far-reaching consequences.
