The mockumentary follows Rose, a professional pet walker who presents her new home to a documentary team while celebrating the realization of a dream: owning a home, even if occupied. While claiming to take care of the property and waiting for the owner to return, the new “tenant” creates intimacy with the house, falling in love with the absent owner.

about the director GABRIELA GAIA MEIRELLES

We are a creative duo of women living in the Brazilian diaspora, and we are interested in discussing the space of an ugly film, born in a country that exports beauty. Scarce is the first short in a trilogy that we call “decolonial melodramas” in which we tell the story of Rose backwards, a woman who goes into a panic when faced with a traumatic event. In this first film – created, written and acted by Clara Anastácia – we debate housing and food insecurity based on a mockumentary and fantastical mockumentary.
