Sinopse

A superb novel, acclaimed with awards from the Brazilian Academy of Letters and Bravo! Like an analog photograph, where the content gradually reveals itself, the characters in this novel reveal themselves, layer by layer, through amorous and existential concerns. Through the lack of perspectives, the clash of longings, the intersection of desires and feelings. Their gazes, also unexpected, are the frames of this universe. Five different visions, five distinct lenses, for a curious black-and-white study, in solitude and resentment, of portraits of everyday life. In this network of intersecting narratives, a sequence of urban Polaroids is revealed. A broken line of events that gains strength through the multiplicity of viewpoints. A delve into shattered relationships, unfulfilled ambitions, of ordinary heroes, victims of self-imposed exile, plunged into the sour melancholy of sameness. In Curitiba, on the eve of the 2002 presidential elections, the photographer of the title, never named, is hired by a mysterious man to secretly photograph model Íris. He pays $200 per roll of film. Although seemingly easy, the job becomes more complicated when he becomes attracted to the girl. While deciding whether to keep Íris or the money, he also has to manage a marital crisis. He doesn't know how to tell his wife he wants a separation. But she's having an affair with her master's professor, Duarte, who is married to Mara, Íris's analyst, and who misses a past love.
