"And the voices in the waves are always whispering to Florence, in their ceaseless
murmuring, of love - of love, eternal and illimitable, not bounded by the confines
of this world, or by the end of time, but range still, beyond the sea, beyond the
sky, to the invisible country far away!" - Charles Dickens, writer

Verona
Director: Ane Siderman
Country: Brazil
Age Adult 18+
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes 50 seconds
Synopsis: Two families on neighboring farms on the border between Brazil and Uruguay. Decades drive these people away. The physical proximity is separated by a fence and the set of prejudices, inexplicable hatred and lack of generosity. In the end of the year, between Christmas and New Year, the families gather on their respective farms. What nobody knows is that a love between two young people is about to break this barrier that is much bigger than the fence that divides the fields. The passion between Rodrigo and Juliana could be the point of recovery for a relationship marked by so many years of hatred, but, like Shakespeare's original story, the human being is much more complex and inexplicable. Whether in Verona, Italy, or on a border farm. Tragedy lives inside people and is sometimes impossible to control...
