Astro: An Urban Fable in a Magical Rio de Janeiro (2012)
An urban fable that portrays the process of adaptation of Astro, the protagonist, to the city of Rio de Janeiro. The daughter of a Brazilian mother and a Swedish father, Astro comes to Brazil to receive an inheritance and ends up staying longer than she expected when she meets Alice. ART and the CITY are narrative elements that work in the transformation of the character. A positive history and vibrant rapture of self built on the border between reality and unconsciousness. An rapture of self built on the border between reality and unconsciousness.
