Retrato de Classe

Gregório Bacic

A funny chronicle of the São Paulo middle class in the 1970s, based on a simple but effective premise: a primary school class meeting, 20 years later. Retrato de Classe starts from a photo of the junior class of a private school, in a middle class neighborhood of São Paulo. He searches for and gathers former colleagues and a teacher, in order to recreate the group's trajectories, to draw the profile of the country's metropolitan bourgeoisie. A country in crisis and a middle class that was experiencing the collapse of the economic miracle. Frustrations, desires, prejudice and futility are part of this universe of people and their life trajectories.
