O morto-vivo

Antônio wakes up in a morgue. His heart isn't beating, but his mind is clear. He hears the pathologist discussing his autopsy, feels the cold steel against his skin. Instead of panic, a strange calm descends. He must escape before they cut him open. This 2025 Brazilian dramatic thriller explores the boundary between life and death through one impossible morning. Director João Pedro Almeida constructs the narrative as a tense escape from the most unpredictable prison — one's own body, which no longer obeys the laws of biology. The film balances on a thin line between medical horror and philosophical parable, forcing viewers to question the very nature of existence.
