The movie highlights the everyday of humanitarians and the gestures of these men and women who never give up, by following a doctor during his diverse missions on war zones or devastated areas and alongside deprived populations. A breathtaking dive close to the reality of horror and the actions that heal but also transmit the moves that save and shut death up. A movie with a documentary aesthetic and a moving realism rich in varied emotions.

Everything was shot in two days in Brasil, in which the african culture has a strong influence, for historic and sociologic reasons. We harnessed this influence to give to the film its realistic tone.

The idea was to shoot three long takes and to adapt the story from there. We shot during one day in an abandoned warehouse in São Paulo, that we transformed in sort of war zone. Then, we shot for half a day in a Cubatão favela and then in a really old hospital of São Paulo for the rest of the day.

The biggest difficulty was to be as close as possible of the reality, without getting into the African cliché. At the same time, to shoot something violent and visceral but not disgusting. The director wanted to give the idea of how is the life of those guys that travel to somewhere that Google Maps has no idea where it is, and spend days/weeks in tents, campings, improvised hospitals trying to help as much people as possible.

The idea then, was to tell the story from the subjective point of view of one of those doctors.
