THE NIGHT IS A FARCE

Documentary by Lucas Weglinksi 90 min., Brazil/ Germany 2025

“The Night is a Farce” trails Yá, an Indigenous girl with no memories, and Jorge, a non-binary artist, two people trying to survive the criminalization of their lives while being pursued by a so-called “TikTok policeman” — a national celebrity who illegally turns his young following into a surveillance network. While Yá searches for her identity through dreams of a Jaguar Woman, Jorge guides her through the labyrinths of the biggest metropolis in South America.
