Stray Bullett

10.16.2009

STRAY BULLET is a film about the route of five bullets and the people they cross by during a shoot-out in Rio de Janeiro
First we see only the hand loading the gun. Then, a robbery to a car leads the thief to run away towards a square where he is chased by a policeman. A shooting starts.
Time goes back one minute to reveal the stories of people who were at the place during the shooting in the middle of a normal day. In the beggining of a sunny afternoon we see, from many sides of the square, the minute of their lives before the shooting. People very different from each other, all of them exposed to a stray bullet. Anyone can die.
A blind begger. A woman discussing with her lover. Four retired men playing cards. A teenage couple. A very sick man in agony who has just taken a doses of morphine. A policeman and another hot day in Rio de Janeiro. The bullets fly over the square. At the end, each one reaches its destiny.
