In times of limitless infobesity, a work that brings playfulness and rescues innocence for today’s children comes to the cinemas without losing the artisanal while innovating.
The story of the little ghost of the great playwright of children’s theater Maria Clara Machado has been part of our literature since the 50s, being part of the Brazilian imagination. It has already been adapted for plays and is now on the screen of cinema with an assertive partnership between Rosane Svartman and Clélia Bessa, pioneers and storytellers.
With an extensive post production, the film had one of the biggest budgets of Brazilian children’s movies with approximately 12 million reais. Made in 3D and 2D, the film has a creative and very well done production work, having scenes of Pluft (Nicolas Cruz), his Mother (Fabíula Nascimento) and his Uncle Gerúndio (José Lavigne) performed under the water. With the necessary fluidity from an immersive point of view in a 7-meter pool, the actors won the challenge of acting underground.
The narrative is around Pluft, a little ghost who lives with his mother in an abandoned house. He stands out from the other ghosts as he is afraid of people. His life takes a turn with the arrival of Maribel (Lola Belli) after being kidnapped by the terrible Pirate Perna de Pau (Juliano Cazarré). Maribel will need to overcome her fear of ghosts and Pluft his fear of people to defeat the Pirate and save the great treasure. Rosane successfully translated the magic of theater to film by bringing a creative little ghost not like all the other ones gray and pale and a scary and funny pirate. There is a successful union between fear, adventure and comedy for children and adults, as it is a film for all ages.
There was respect for Maria Clara Machado’s universe and an updating were included such as bringing Maribel in a more combative way. Maribel becomes a vehicle of inspiration for girls to face their fears even in the face of weaknesses, she cries, is afraid, but decides to face them. Pluft is curious but fearful. The movie shows us more than fear, it is necessary to have the courage to face it, it is necessary to overcome it, it is necessary to mature, make choices and respect differences. In Pluft, the art works at its fullest.
