Rat Fever
Drama110 min
In Recife’s margins, Zizo is an anarchist poet who prints his social fury in a homemade tabloid called Febre do Rato and hurls verse at anyone who will listen. Irandhir Santos is Zizo, a man forever circling the world he has built around his own provocations, where activism, performance, desire, and malice blur together. When his attention turns toward a woman named Eneida and goes unanswered, that self-made universe starts to shift. Rooted in northeastern Brazil, the story stays close to street life and the restless community gathered in Zizo’s orbit.
