In MARGARETTE`S FEAST, Brazilian director Renato Falcco pairs the poverty that runs rife throughout his native country with a delirious does of fantasy. Shot in black-and-white and with no dialogue, Falcco`s film is set to a pulsating musical score, and embodies many of the social and political struggles the Brazilian people face. The simple plot follows Pedro (Hique Gomez), a man caught in a never-ending cycle of poverty. One day, Pedro discovers a suitcase full of money, and realizes that no matter how much he spends, the suitcase magically refills itself with cash. Thinking that money will solve all his problems, Pedro learns a few sharp lessons in life as his worries only seem to multiply, but not before he stages a huge feast for his wife, Margarette.
