Sinopse

The long and deep friendship between two of Brazil's most important writers is reflected in the letters they exchanged between 1946 and 1969. Infused with the authors' amazement and fascination with the future, Letters Close to the Heart recounts the correspondence between Fernando Sabino and Clarice Lispector and, in turn, allows us to discover the inner world of these two writers when they were young. In the last phase of Clarice Lispector's life, other friendships arose, but the relationship between her and Fernando Sabino was the first and one of the most intense since the beginning of her literary career. In January 1944, Sabino had barely turned twenty when, in Belo Horizonte, where he lived, he received a copy of a novel called Near to the Wild Heart, with a dedication from the author, Clarice Lispector, who was still unknown to the general public. "I was dazzled by the book," confesses Sabino. After being introduced to each other by Rubem Braga, the two began a friendship marked by daily contact and conversations arranged in the city's pastry shops. A bond portrayed in Letters Close to the Heart. The friendship continued through these letters, with a frequency only interrupted when the two met in Rio de Janeiro. "We exchanged ideas about everything," says Sabino. "We submitted our work to each other. We reformulated our values and discovered the world, drunk with youth. It was more than an unspoken passion for literature, or for each other, that united two young people 'close to the wild heart of life': what transpires in our letters is a kind of secret pact between us, united in solidarity with the enigma that the future held for our destiny as writers."
