Rewind

When starting to organize the moving out from a house where he lives for over 25 years, LEVI founds a dusty box with an old video camera, a Panasonic camera still fully working, which contains random registers from his youth friends, and mostly from his great homossexual love, who's now his best friend MÁRIO, with whom he couldn't share his feelings due to his unexpected departure, for family reasons. The memories of Mário cause in Levi a nostalgic crisis, from analogic times when no one needed to validate happiness in social media. Levi takes his analogic Panasonic video camera to see again those random registers, always presented through the video camera point of view, which start at a party with a lot of alcohol, women and rock, in his house backyard, in 1994. We find out then that Levi, then 17, is a teenager too shy to confess his passion to Mario, who's then an outgoing 18-year-old. The one who reveals details about their lives, specially about the bullying Levi suffered with, is another teenager, JÚLIA, who knows them ever since childhood. Besides these parties, Levi also has the opportunity to remember his troubles with the old fusca Mario used to drive, which kept breaking for all sorts of reasons, besides his constant visits to a broke record shop speciallized in rock classics. Finally, the old Panasonic returns to the box for, probably, many years in order to Levi's moving can be completed. Written by Julyfrans and Leonardo Caranante, "Rewind" is a short drama film that talks about older people who are always remembering with nostalgia about their youth without many resources.
