09: Private Desert
Daniel (Antonio Saboia, BACURAU), a troubled cop with a history of run-ins with the authorities, seeks refuge from a potentially career-ending scandal with a faraway stranger with whom he has been conducting an intense affair entirely on social media.
But when his paramour abruptly ghosts him, Daniel impulsively sets off thousands of miles cross-country in a desperate attempt to salvage the lost relationship – a quest that will profoundly change the course of both their lives.
The critically acclaimed PRIVATE DESERT is a riveting Brazilian romantic drama that melds stunning road movie vistas, twisting narrative turns and a swelling forbidden love story to the beat of Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’.
