The Safest Place In The World

The film follows Marlon, a young man whose life is turned upside down after his town was buried by the rupture of a mineral tailings dam. A refugee from his house| he faces new challenges and witnesses the repetition of another mining tragedy in Brazil, which exposes the abandonment that companies and the government have with individuals. “The safest place in the world” is Marlon's way of referring to his original place, today surrounded by cameras and security guards. Ironically| he assures that nothing else can happen there, capitalism has devoured everything, and feeds his utopia of returning to the only place he recognizes as home.
