14.09.2024 | PEDÀGIO / TOLL (BR/PT 2023, Carolina Markowicz)

BR/PT 2023, R: Carolina Markowicz, D: Maeve Jinkings, Kauan Alvarenga, Thomás Aquino, 101′, OV with English subtitles, DCP 

Single mum Suellen is worried about her teenage son Tiquinho. When Tiquinho is not at school, he puts on make-up, makes lip-sync videos to Billie Holiday songs and tries to sell cosmetic products on social media. Suellen is persuaded to enrol him in a costly conversion therapy programme, which she finances through criminal means, driven by her caring thoughts.
From the grainy, atmospheric images of the story’s (sub)proletarian milieu to the expansive industrial landscapes of the city of Cubatão, TOLL captivates with its remarkable acting of the multi-layered characters and its humour, especially during the therapy sessions. We learn that the anus is in league with the devil. With good reason an international festival hit.
