"A versatile mind in a restless generation"
The Egotist is a short fiction film inspired by excerpts from the book This Side of Paradise by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Poor and tired, Amaro finds himself in need of moving. Along the way he takes part in conversations that make him reflect on his changing position in society and the anxieties of a young adult.
Cinema, like any art, has the power to express emotions, socially, politically, among others, and it's considered that this is the right moment to bring this story to the screen since, a century after the release of the original book, the anxieties and questions expressed by the protagonist remain relevant in the current context.
The Egotist features a focus on dialogue, a choreography between the actors and the camera, and an intimate original soundtrack, which all come together in an approach of temporal ambiguity that emphasizes and exposes the generational transversality of ideas, feelings and anxieties related to a world full of social and economic challenges.
