Nobody Can Know

Ninguém pode Saber
Sergio Kieling
Brazil / 2025 / 0:21:45

Two anonymous men meet atop a skyscraper, beneath the merciless glare of the sleepless city. In the piercing silence of the night, each step is a stifled cry against the pain. Between reflections, memories, and the incessant pulse of the city, we discover they could be any one of us: a voice lost in the urban tumult, a cry for help hidden among invisible faces. An invitation to reflection, a last flame of hope to rescue those who still exist amidst despair.
