Nosso Lar (2010)

Nosso Lar (2010)
Produced by Cinética Filmes e Produções
Directed by Wagner de Assis

Matchmove Lead

A film adaptation of Francisco C. Xavier's book, as dictated by André Luiz. Luiz acts as a reporter on conditions in the spirit world, revealing details of its life, people, places, and organization. He does so through the lens of his reflections on his own after-death experience, and his struggles to make sense of his new reality. In this very personal account, Andre Luiz reveals his identity as a medical doctor who practiced in southeastern Brazil in the first decades of the twentieth century, and who left the physical body a few years prior to the beginning of World War II. A true skeptic at the time of his demise, he is initially shocked at the discovery that death is nothing more than a doorway to a new and richer life.
