Inversão
On a day in January, working on a documentary, listening to people's accounts, I realized that the world was upside down and nobody had noticed that. Several social values had changed, a daughter who kills her father, another father who kills his child, an absent mother without a place, violence and the strange feeling that all that is bad comes from the lower classes and the politicians. Nobody noticed that the bad comes from the inside ... inside us, what was not achieved or no longer brings pleasure, everything comes to light in a selfish attitude to be fine! Nobody is so good or so bad.
