Isolate

Pedro Albuquerque Vieira (Slideshow)

“Isolation, something we have all felt in recent years. Thanks to the pandemic we were forced to be away from each other, locked up in our homes and in our minds.
For those who live in large urban centers these were difficult times, but what about those who always live in isolation? How was this social isolation for these people?
Aldeia da Pena: six inhabitants who, from January to January, live in a small schist village at the foot of the São Macário mountain range.
Two families that have chosen to exchange the hustle and bustle for peace and quiet.
This film is the portrait of the isolation of this village, itself isolated, the impact on its inhabitants, who have seen their businesses closed, classes taught by teachers in monitors, and people trying to isolate themselves with the fear of the pandemic.
