Sofia, 23, has a baby face, short hair, and a red cap screwed on her head. Ordered to leave the apartment where she is staying, she decides to kill time on the campus of the University of São Paulo, where she goes as a tattoo artist, not as a student. With extreme destitution, the film depicts the wanderings of this secretive, mysteriously stubborn character, who refuses to be deciphered and shows herself to be full of resistance, in a tragic sensuality. Sofia Foi advances by ellipses and evocations, throughout the day and night, at the whim of encounters with friends or classmates. Also solitary and enigmatic figures, they appear, frozen, observant and motionless, as if carrying a strangely muted and silent revolt. Through Sofia, Pedro Geraldo depicts the contours of a marginal and vulnerable youth, precarious, lost on the edge of a world that threatens them, lost between the full and empty spaces of a campus that does not protect them. Filmed in fixed shots in beautiful chiaroscuro with greenish tones, the nooks and crannies of the university are disturbing. The director establishes a serious and somber sound and visual regime, which redoubles Sofia's isolation. Her sibylline face and her unfathomable eyes, filmed in close-ups, are at times transfigured by sublime superimpositions; they represent the nostalgia for a love brutally interrupted, a disappearance to come. The film is shaped from absences, in which lies, it seems, the face of a death that looks at us: Sofia, faith.
