Watch Recife Mermo (2019) Official Trailer

Lia (Thuanne Texeira), Fran (Vitória Vasconcellos) and Ari (George Xavier) are young adults from Recife, one of the largest cities of Brazil. What it was supposed to be another regular day, dealing with the growing gentrification and disruption of cultural patrimony, actually becomes an emotional and geographical journey as the three friends take a foreign visitor to their favorite places around the city. In the course of one day, Lia, Fran and Ari confront the positives and negatives of living and being from Recife and the bittersweet feeling that seems to be forever attached to the word "home".
