Luna

Directed by Cris Azzi

In 2014 I read a letter from a Brazilian teen to her mother, written before taking her own life – ashamed after a sex tape was leaked. The letter was as an apology and a farewell. I was reduced to tears. This response inspired me to create Luna.
— Cris Azzi / director's note


 

Luana and Emilia meet on the first day of their senior year at High School. The promise of an intense, fun and fiery friendship is interrupted by the leak of a sex tape on social media.

Luana steps into an oppressive reality, lonely and isolated, she chooses to be confrontational and audacious in her response to the world around her.
