Private Desert is co-written and directed by Aly Muritiba and stars Antonio Saboia, Pedro Fasanaro, Thomas Aquino, Zezita De Matos, Laila Garin and Sandro Guerra. The movie, which has been selected as Brazil’s submission in the Best International Feature category for next year’s Academy Awards, follows a police man who – after being discharged due to violent behavior – crosses the country to find his online love who has suddenly vanished.
