SEAMS
(1994)
Directed by Karim Aïnouz
Brazil, USA | 1993 | documentary | 16mm | color | short movie | 29 min

During a family visit, the director’s five great aunts and grandmother tell stories about romance, suffering and survival in a man’s world. From this anecdotal evidence, it assembles a subtle, salutory story about the machinery of machismo.
