Flavia Castro was born in Brazil but grew up in exile. Her cinema moves between documentary and fiction in a single movement of “constructing memories.” She wrote and directed the award-winning documentary "Diário de uma busca" (2011) and the fiction feature "Deslembro" (2018), which debuted at the Venice Film Festival. With "As Vitrines," Castro closes an unplanned trilogy merging her personal history with the experiences of Latin American dictatorships and exile.

Running time: 100 min.
Synopsis
A period drama inspired by the tragic life of "Miss Cyclone," an anarchist typographist in 1919 São Paulo. The film depicts her struggle for artistic voice and bodily autonomy in a world that denies both. It’s a violent, necessary journey through a clandestine reality, reclaiming the memory of a woman erased by the very modernist circles she inspired.
