silent alarm

synopsis

In Brazil, 288 thousand people survive a suicide attempt per year, many of them being young individuals. This film documents the creative process of a group of young actors while they put together a theatrical play whose plot revolves around the reunion of a young woman, who attempted suicide, with friends from her theater group. The idea is giving a voice to these young individuals, those who have attempted suicide, as well as the friends and family of those who have survived or not, allowing them to speak about the subject; to be heard, embraced, and encouraged to redefine their existences, proposing "ways out" to young people dealing with suicidal ideation. The film suggests a rescue of self-esteem and hope, attempting to provide new choices and possible paths.
