Mal Viver

Mal Viver is more than a film; is an immersive experience into the minefield of family relationships, where love and resentment coexist in a non-stop dance. Canijo's work invites us to reflect on the weight of family ties and the role of physical space in the formation of memories and conflicts. With careful direction and an almost documentary approach, João Canijo transforms a seaside hotel into a stage for the tragedy and beauty of human coexistence. It is an invitation to the viewer to look inside themselves, through the eyes of a family that, despite its flaws, seeks to survive together, even when the past and wounds insist on manifesting themselves.
