A film by Basil Da Cunha
Cloud, a young man who greatly enjoys wandering and daydreaming, reluctant to work, prefers the company of dogs and clowns. Facing the indifference of his family and friends, he decides to let himself be guided by his need for freedom and begins his quest for the sunfish.
Basil Da Cunha was born in Morges, Switzerland, in 1985. He finishes the HEAD in Geneva with his first feature length film "ATÉ VER A LUZ" in 2013. His body of work, rooted in reality and shaped by genre cinema, from magical realism to film noir and musicals, has established a lasting presence in major international festivals.
After completing O JACARÉ , an ensemble film, Basil is developing the series PUBLIC ENEMY, and is preparing FURIA, a superhero film emerging from working-class neighborhoods.
