Synopsis
If Modernity fabricated madness, asylums, and automatons, it likewise redefined the imagery of monsters. The intriguing and unsettling universe of “Os lobos” merges two time periods within a single space, where stories of an 18th-century beast are reimagined by patients in a 20th-century psychiatric hospital. Through a cinematic approach that blends theater, dance, storytelling, and musical numbers, the film plays with artifice and fantasy, offering a historical reconstruction that defies conventional historical reenactment.
