The adventure of Gustavo and Melissa begins on a cargo ship which takes them from Brazil to Germany. They move to Berlin, the ideal place for staying close together and cultivating their great passion: film. Which soon overlaps with their lives in a continuous game of tag between reality and fiction. A state of permanent transition, a deliberate centrifugal movement which leads to a crisis in their life as a couple. Until one day a cosmic portal connecting past, present and future appears in their home: another journey awaits them, full of unimaginable discoveries. [cg]

Declaration
film director
“From the shooting of the first images aboard a cargo ship until we finished the editing, it took us nine years – almost a quarter of our lives – to complete Muito Romântico. A journey from Brazil to Germany that will never end and continues to affect us in our lives and work. Finally we found an answer to the question infinitely repeated: Why did you come to Berlin? To make a film.”
