Synopsis

"Trilogy of The Body" is a compelling documentary that explores the profound significance of the human body through three distinct themes: Corpus Delicti, Closed Body, and Foreign Body. Featuring in-depth interviews with renowned filmmaker Nelson Pereira dos Santos, celebrated actress Phedra D. Córdoba, and acclaimed visual artist Jac Leirner, the film delves into the intricate perspectives on how the body symbolizes contemporary identity.

In Corpus Delicti, the body is examined as evidence and identity within societal structures. Closed Body delves into the spiritual and protective aspects of the body. Foreign Body investigates the influence of external factors and how the body adapts and integrates these influences within a societal context.
