On coming back to the imposing but decadent farmhouse he inherited, after an extenuous journey on horseback, Antonio finds out that his wife died in labor. Confined to this desolate and unproductive property in the company of his demented motherin-law and numerous slaves, he marries his dead wife’s young niece, a child of 12. A restless soul, he returns to his expeditions trading slaves and cattle, and leaves the child wife behind. The loneliness of the big house in the rugged landscape mirrors that of its inhabitants. Each one has been displaced from his original home and forced into co-existence. The undercurrents of violence and prejudice fuel the impending tragedy which, in turn, is an ambiguous announcement of the winds of change.

COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION Brazil PRODUCTION COMPANY Igloo Films AVAILABLE TERRITORIES All territories FILMING LOCATION São Paulo (Brazil) DEVELOPMENT PHASE Post-production (WIP) SYNOPSIS Deaths of Horatio is a dark comedy,

colourful but rundown neighbourhood near downtown São Paulo. The film is about a dysfunctional family whose relationship is pushed to the brink (edge) when the father Horatio, an eccentric big shot tobacco smuggler, has to go underground because he is being tracked down by the police. So he hides in an over-decorated, tacky apartment, keeping his wild 40-year-old daughter chained to the bed while he fantasies and makes moves on his oblivious henchman. This story takes a deep emotional drama and plays it off the nonsensical absurdity of the family to make a heavy situation comical. The cast includes "Zé Celso", one of the biggest names in Brazilian theater and Maria Luísa Mendonça, a major Brazilian actress.

and grows like a tumor. People of different social means fall into their routines automatically: A spoilt rich kid poisons his bodyguard, driving the bodyguard's son to seek revenge, and his own father into deep feelings of guilt. A woman escapes from a psychiatric clinic and takes refuge in her parents' abandoned house, and in search of a scapegoat, she blames her brother for her madness. To maintain the illusion of a united family, a doctor submits herself to the perverse behavior of her husband, who forces her to serve dinner to his young mistress. A crack dealer tries to bring one of his former pushers, and ex-junkie, back into the habit and the drug trafficking. In “Barbarians”, the characters are crushed by the absence of a common dream, the noble dream of a solar, humane, law-abiding society that allows people to save themselves and others.
